Сторінка 295 - ... from the shales of the town of Georgia, in Vermont, referring them to the age of the Hudson River group. These trilobites had been in my possession for some two years or more; and knowing the great interest that would attach to them, whenever published, I had waited, hoping that some new facts might be brought out touching the stratigraphical relations of these rocks in the town of Georgia. After the descriptions had been printed and a few copies distributed, I learned that Sir William Logan...
Сторінка 46 - Birdseye formation ; the fossils which have this year been obtained at Quebec pretty clearly demonstrate that in this he is right. It is at the same time satisfactory to find that the view which Mr. Billings expressed to you in his letter of the 12th July, to the effect that the Quebec trilobites appeared to him to be about the base of the second fauna, should so well accord with your...
Сторінка 42 - Batiiyurus 1. Tracing A3 or A3 round the extremity of a synclinal, and finding occasional indications of the fossils of A2 and A3, we arrive at a position on the south side of the synclinal. We shall call the position P. Here the band...
Сторінка 44 - Chazy and calciferous, and it is brought to the surface by an overturn anticlinal fold with a crack and a great dislocation running along the summit, by which the Quebec group is brought to overlap the Hudson River formation.
Сторінка 44 - ... main anticlinals by dark grey and even black shales and limestones. These have heretofore been taken by me for shales and limestones of the Hudson River formation, which they strongly resemble, but as they separate the synclinals of the Quebec group must now be considered older. I am not prepared to say that the Potsdam deposit in its typical form of a sandstone is anywhere largely developed above these shales, where the shales are in greatest force. Neither am I prepared to assert its absence,...
Сторінка 128 - In this I find I have not done justice to Mr. T. Sterry Hunt, to whom is exclusively due the credit of having first applied the theory to the so-called oxygen acids and to the anhydrides, and in whose earlier papers may be found the germs of most of the ideas on classification usually attributed to Gerhardt and his disciples f.
Сторінка 128 - Gibbs remarks, but, except so far as Laurent's suggestion goes, invented it and published it in all its details some years before it was accepted by a single chemist. In conclusion, I have only to ask that future historians will do justice to the memory of Auguste Laurent, and will ascribe to whom...
Сторінка 296 - William my descriptions as they now stand in the report, and I then received his authority for the addition of the note which was appended. This in a few words is a simple history of the matter relating to the publication of these species. I made no remarks or comparisons with the primordial fauna of Barrande in Bohemia, knowing that these features would be at once recognized by every palaeontologist ; while their reference to the genus Olenus showed my appreciation of the nature of the fossils.
Сторінка 43 - Thamnograptus 3, Dictyonema 3. I have given you these details of localities, because as the subject requires further investigation we do not yet wish to commit ourselves entirely as to the equivalency of separate exposures. But there is no doubt that the whole is one group of strata deposited under one set of alternating circumstances. The whole fauna, as known up to the present time, is composed of — Articulata, 36 species. Mollusca 55...
Сторінка 301 - ... one in which cooperation, good will and forbearance are required from every one, to harmonize the conflicting facts as they are now presented. The occurrence of so many types of the second fauna in the rocks at Point Levi, associated with a smaller number of established primordial types, offers us the alternative of regarding these strata as of the second stage, with the reappearance of primordial types in that era, or of bringing into the primordial zone several genera heretofore regarded as...
