Сторінка 218 - ... during each act of deglutition; during the first act, while they were open, air was forced into the cavity of the tympanum by the contraction of the muscles of the fauces and pharynx, and the guttural orifices of the tubes remained closed until the second act of swallowing, which opened the tubes and allowed the air to escape. That the act of deglutition opens the Eustachian tubes, was inferred also from the custom usually adopted of swallowing while the descent in a diving-bell is performed...
Сторінка 242 - On the Anatomy of Salpa and Pyrosoma' the phenomena, &c., have received the most ingenious and elaborate elucidation, and have given rise to a process of reasoning the results of which can scarcely yet be anticipated, but must bear, in a very important degree, upon some of the most abstruse points of what may be called transcendental physiology.
Сторінка 89 - But whether elastic fluids do really consist of particles so repelling each other, is a physical question. We have here demonstrated mathematically the property of fluids consisting of particles of this kind, that hence philosophers may take occasion to discuss that question.
Сторінка 138 - This is not the case when the reflection of an object is seen in a mirror; for then, not only are the projections separately reflected, but they are also transposed from one eye to the other, and therefore the conversion of relief does not take place. The pseudoscope being directed to an object, and adjusted so that the object shall appear of its proper size and at its usual distance, the distances of all other objects are inverted ; all nearer objects appear more distant, and all more distant objects...
Сторінка 253 - On the Pelorosaurus ; an undescribed gigantic terrestrial reptile whose remains are associated with those of the Iguanodon and other Saurians in the Strata of Tilgate Forest.
Сторінка 251 - The Natural History of the District;" and in Dec., 1826, he published his " Illustrations of the Geology of Sussex...
Сторінка 194 - Brewster was led to conclude that epipolic was merely a particular case of internal dispersion, peculiar only in this respect, that the rays capable of dispersion were dispersed with unusual rapidity. But what rays they were which were capable of affecting a solution of sulphate of quinine, why...
Сторінка 319 - Celeste,' the approximation to the value of the acceleration is confined to the principal term, but in the theories of Damoiseau and Plana, the developments are carried to an immense extent, particularly in the latter, where the multiplier of the change in the square of the eccentricity of the earth's orbit, which occurs in the expression of the secular acceleration, is given to terms of the seventh order.
Сторінка 28 - Beta- resin of madder. When prepared according to the method described in the paper, it is obtained in the form of a reddish-brown powder. When heated on platinum foil, it melts, and then burns away without leaving any residue. It dissolves in concentrated sulphuric acid, with a brown colour, and is reprecipitated by water in brown flocks. On heating the solution in concentrated sulphuric acid, it becomes black, sulphurous acid is disengaged, and the substance is decomposed. Concentrated nitric acid...
Сторінка 274 - The highest summits of the Himalaya, Dhawalagiri and Kinchinginga, are little more than 28,000 feet, or 4'7 geographical miles above the sea. The sea-bottom has therefore depths greatly exceeding the elevation of the highest pinnacle above its surface. The strength of the line tried before the sounding was found to be equal to bear 721bs.
