Сторінка 152 - Engelhardtia (Oreomunnea) in Central America. Since Ettingshausen's announcement a dozen or more fossil species have been described. The oldest known European form occurs in the upper Eocene or lower Oligocene (Ligurien) of France and the species become increasingly abundant throughout southern Europe especially toward the close of the Oligocene and the dawn of the Miocene, Saporta stating that the slabs from the leaf-beds at Armissan in southeastern France are thickly strewn with their peculiar...
Сторінка 81 - There should, however, be no particle of doubt as to the power of the National Government completely to perform and enforce its own obligations to other nations.

Сторінка 121 - I globe had a transverse velocity of three quarters (or anything more than .71) of a kilometer per second, they would just escape collision, and would revolve in ellipses round their common center of inertia in a period of one year, just grazing each other's surface every time they came to the nearest points of their orbits.
