Seite 4 - ... provided however, and it is further understood and declared, that the boundaries of these three states shall be subject so far to be altered, that, if congress shall hereafter find it expedient, they shall have authority to form one or two states in that part of the said territory which lies north of an east and west line drawn through the southerly bend or extreme of lake Michigan.
Seite 26 - In other words, the shales of our column fill the entire interval between the Hamilton proper and the Catskill group, and in the judgment of some geologists a wider interval even than that named above.
Seite 133 - uplifts" at Little Falls, which rise 147 feet higher than lake Erie, and the "highlands" of the Hudson might also have interposed barriers to an outlet across the state of New York. A single communication only would then exist •with the ocean, viz: through the valley of the Mississippi.

Seite 48 - Dolomites, magnesites, and magnesian marls have had their origin in sediments of magnesian carbonate formed by the evaporation of solutions of bicarbonate of magnesia. These solutions have been produced either by the action of bicarbonate of lime upon solutions of sulphate of magnesia, in which case gypsum is a subsidiary product, or by the decomposition of solutions of sulphate or chloride of magnesium by the waters of rivers or springs containing bicarbonate of soda.
Seite 215 - By a fossil is meant any body, or the traces of the existence of any body, whether animal or vegetable, which has been buried in the earth by natural causes.
Seite 4 - ... of the lime and sandrocks, or loose water-worn fragments of still older rocks, swept from the north by the current of a universal ocean and deposited during the general subsidence. Some evidences of the direction of these currents were noticed in my report of last year. Among these are the diluvial furrows and scratches on the surface of the lime rock, the appearance and direction of which correspond with observations made in some of the more eastern states.
