Book excerpt: Excerpt from Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections, 1959, Vol. 136 The court martial which has been sitting for the last two days was this day dissolved. The sentence of the court was that each of the offenders should be punished, with one hundred lashes each over the bare back; the commodore, however was empowered to remit any part of the sentence that did not meet his approbation. The prisoners were accordingly brought up, and Leach and Faulkner received 75 lashes each, 25 being remitted and Cafferty received 50 lashes, 50 being remitted in consideration of his long confinement, and consequent ill health. I have daily opportunities of oh serving the manners and customs of the city of Rio, from the fact of my being on shore several hours of each day. Upon landing a stranger from a non slave holding country is struck with the singular appearance of the negro population. The whole labour of bearing and moving burdens is performed by these people, and the state in which they appear is revolting to humanity. Here was a number of beings entirely naked, with the ex ception of a covering of dirty rags, tied about their waists, their skins from constant exposure to the weather, had become hard, crusty and seamed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections, 1928, Vol. 80 If we had but to describe the thorax as it is, the task of the anato mist would not be a simple one, but it is always necessary to look beyond the facts that confront us and to discover the more funda mental structures upon which they are reared, an undertaking which requires redoubled effort, but without which there can be no true morphology.

Moreover, the evidence for the water vapor bands (includ ing that at p), given in plate 1, figure I, and plates Iv and V, should be conclusive of their origin. This does not necessarily mean that the particular nicks in the curves are atmospheric; they may be due to some solar line superposed on the greater atmospheric band. By far the greater portion of the absorption must, however, be terrestrial. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections Vol 16 Classic Reprint written by Smithsonian Institution and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 974 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections, Vol. 16 The following pages contain the results of several years' study of one of the most interesting and difficult branches of American Conchology. My ms. Was completed in and I find, upon freshly taking up the subject, that I am inclined to question many of the conclusions at which I had then arrived. A more enlarged acquaintance with fresh-water shells convinces me that a much greater reduction of the number of species than I have attempted must eventually be made; but until the prolific waters of the southern states have been systematically explored and a great collection of Specimens obtained, which shall represent every portion of those streams and include as many transitional forms as can be procured, a definitive monograph of our Melanians cannot be written. I am indebted to several kind friends for assist ance in preparing this work; first of all, to Dr. Isaac Lea, who not only gave me constant access to his noble collection, but on many occasions aided me by comparing specimens and elucidating knotty questions in synonymy. Mr. John G. Anthony, Prof. S. S. Haldeman and the late Dr. Aug. A. Gould, with great liberality, sent to me their types; and in these collections and that of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, I also found types of many of the species described by Say and Conrad. Most of my synonymy is derived from the direct comparison of these typical shells, and to this extent I believe my work will prove to be reliable.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections, Vol. 5 It will be seen that each separate work or paper on the Recent Conchology of North America is taken up, its title and date given, its author's name, and a list of species therein 'described or in any important manner referred to, together with their synonymy, locality, and the volume, page, plate and figure relating to them. For their value as contributions to our knowledge of geographical distribution I have also quoted all the local lists of species, with out descriptions. General works ou Natural History and school books containing notices of conchology are sometimes referred to. They are too numerous and of too little importance to the scien tihe student to make it an object to include them all. I have not included the Bryozoa. As it was necessary to draw the line between those to be omitted or quoted among the genera of doubtful position, I have decided to give only those included in the Genera of Recent Mollusca, by II. And A. Adams. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
