الصفحة 86 - Figs. 14, 15, 16, 17. Articulating surfaces of joints in different parts of the column in Pentacrinites subangularis. The mechanism of each star seems differently disposed, to modify the amount of motion required at their respective places in the column. The tubercular surfaces between the rays or petals of the star indicate the action of the intervertebral contractile fibres. (Goldfuss, PI. LII. 1.
الصفحة 55 - Siphuncle at bdef shew the calcareous Grit within its cavities to be contracted at its passage through the collars of the transverse plates, and most enlarged midway between one transverse plate and another. This fossil affords two proofs that no communication existed between the interior of the Siphuncle and that of...
الصفحة 85 - Thomson has more recently conjectured that the Pentacrinus Europaeus, which in early life is fixed by its stem to other bodies, is produced from the ovum of the Comatula, and becomes afterwards detached, and forms a perfect Comatula, capable of moving freely in the Ocean ; at one time crawling amongst sub-marine Plants, at others floating, or swimming like Medusae. (See Proceedings of Royal Society, London, June, 1835.) Fig. 3. Small Briarean Pentacrinite, adhering to a fragment of Jet from the Lias...
الصفحة 62 - Variocostatus expresses the remarkable change in the character of the Ribs, near the outer termination of the air chambers. On the inner whorls of the shell, these ribs are narrow, and highly raised, set close to one another, and bifurcated at the back of the shell, (from d. to c.); but near the outer chamber (b. to a.) they become broad and distant, and the dorsal bifurcation ceases. The edges of the transverse plates are exposed by the removal of the shell from c. to b., they appear also at ad...

Section of an Orthoceratite in the Transition limestone of Oeland, in the collection of C. Stokes, Esq. (Original.) a. Siphuncle of the same. Fig, 5. Baculite, from Chalk of the Cotentin ; terminating at its large end in the chamber a. (Original.) • Fig. 5. b. Front view of the transverse plate of a Baculite...
الصفحة 97 - Coniferae and Cycadeae, in their native bed, between the Portland and Purbeck stone, on the coast of Dorsetshire. Fig. 1. Appearance of trunks and roots of large Coniferous trees, and of trunks of Cycadites, in the black earth, which formed the soil of an ancient Forest in the Isle of Portland. (De la Beche.) Fig.
الصفحة 6 - Basalt. A third series of Igneous Rocks is that which has formed dykes, and masses of Basalt and Trap, intruded into, and overlying formations of all ages, from the earliest Granites to the most recent Tertiary Strata. These basaltic rocks sometimes occur as Beds, nearly parallel to the strata, into which they are protruded, after the manner represented in the carboniferous Limestone of our Section, f. 2. More fre-quently they overspread the surface like expanded sheets of Lava.
الصفحة 22 - Robert Gutch, of Segrave. (Original.) In Fig. 1 ; a, b, c, d, are portions of ribs, and e, f, g, h, are fragments of sterno-costal bones (nat. size). The spaces between these bones, are covered with the remains of skin ; the Epidermis being represented by a delicate film, and the Rete mucosum by fine threads of white Carbonate of Lime ; beneath these the Corium, or true skin, is preserved in the state of dark Carbonate of Lime, charged with black volatile matter, of a bituminous and oily consistence....
الصفحة 39 - ... distance of the intervals between each footstep on the same track is occasionally varied, but to no greater amount than may be explained by the Bird having altered its pace. Many tracks of different individuals and different species are often found crossing one another ; they are sometimes crowded like impressions of feet on the muddy shores of a stream, or pond, where Ducks and Geese resort (See PI.
