Page 19 - The plane of the optical axes is perpendicular to the plane of symmetry, and makes with c an angle of °7 in acute /9. A = b. 2H na = 104° 27'.
Page 14 - The larger part of the dust is thought to be a sediment from the air, and to have been obtained by it from a region of crystalline schists. The chondri, on the other hand, are thought to be of cosmic origin, since they are similar to the chondri obtained in deep-sea soundings. If the amount of the dust collected from the snow in Greenland represents the fall of one year, the total amount falling upon the entire surface of the earth in this time is 125 million kilograms, equivalent to a cube of thirty-one...
Page 14 - Wiilfing 21 for investigation, by whom it has been found to consist in greater part of feldspar, quartz, mica, and hornblende. There are present in it also garnet, zircon, magnetite, augite, and sillimanite, and with them is mixed a nitrogenous organic substance. The most interesting constituents of the dust...
