Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of the National Academy of Sciences, Vol. 8 This work was undertaken at the instance of Dr. John S. Billings, Director of the Laboratory of Hygiene, University of Pennsylvania, with the view of obtaining, if possible, some explanation, from a bacteriological standpoint, of the greater mortality among persons living in houses built on made ground over those living on virgin soil. In some cities, as Washington and New York, filled localities can be mapped out and the course of old runs followed by the higher death rate in these districts. N 0 positive opinion can be based on the data so far obtained, and these notes are presented mainly as a small contribution to our knowledge of the bacteria of the soil. In the prosecution of the work I have had the advice of Dr. Billings and of Dr. A. C. Abbott, first assistant, to both of whom I am much indebted.

In their shape and size, whether at rest or flying, they closely resemble the species of Noctuidae.

This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of the National Academy of Science, 1927, Vol. 19 From the various considerations already adduced it Will be quite clear that no general philosophy of petrogenesis should be based upon a study of a portion of the 1gneous recks alone, however complete-it might be' in regard to geological, petrographical, and physico-che'mical circumstances; and therefore, since no study of the intermediate and acid types of normal and alkaline 1gneous rocks has been made by the writer comparable in detail with those upon basic igneous rocks here given, it must be recognized that the generalizations which follow are derived perhaps too exclusively from the' study of basic rocks. If, however, they are found to be an adequate statement of the modes of occurrence of such rocks, they may then be combined with the results of s1m11ar studies upon the other types of rocks into a general petrogenetic theory. While no invariable rules for mode of occurrence of basic intrusive rocks seem yet dis coverable, there emerge from the studies which follow the conception of several modes of occur 'rence, so frequently represented that they' seem to result from fundamental principles of petrogenesis, while the exceptions to these are especially worthy of study, .s1nce in all probability they will throw most light upon the nature of the controlling conditions and the relationships to one another of apparently distinct modes of occurrence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of the National Academy of Sciences, Vol. 13 It seems obvious that such practices would in time produce great confusion and that the chances of lessening such a confusion would decrease as time passed. The history and geography of a fall must be the important factors in determining its right to be regarded individual. Of these two factors the history must be determined from all available literature, while the geography can readily be shown by mapping. To undertake this task for the meteorites of a single large geographic province such as North America seemed to the writer desirable, not only for the intrinsic value of the record, but to throw light on the question of the extent to which individual falls may be naturally or artificially distributed. Funds for assistance having been generously provided through a grant from the J. Lawrence Smith Fund of the National Academy of Sciences, such a catalogue was undertaken and is here presented. Prof. W. C. Macnaul, of Chicago, rendered valuable assistance in the bibliographic work and translating. In the preparation of the text of this catalogue the endeavor of the writer has been to collect all published facts of importance regarding the different falls. Several methods of grouping these facts were considered, but it was finally concluded that an essentially chrono logical treatment would be the most satisfactory. Such a grouping shows in historical order the growth of knowledge regarding each fall and enables one to appreciate the difficulties of the earlier investigators and the manner in which features overlooked or not understood by them were later made clear. For example, Cambria was early described as showing nodules composed of two kinds of iron sulphide, one decomposable and regarded as troilite, the other unattacked by acids and regarded as pyrrhotite. It remained for later investigation to show that the pude composable constituent was schreibersite. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
