 ... they are parallel with the longer sides. Often these lines do not reach the middle of the figure, where only a confused crystallization can be detected. In the interior of the elongated figures the lines are quite irregular, often running together...  The American Journal of Science and Arts - Page 2561869Full view - About this book
