Seite lxiii - These observations bring the formation of silicious minerals face to face with life, and show that their generation was not incompatible with the contemporaneous existence and the preservation of organic forms. They confirm, moreover, the view which I some years since put forward, that these silicated minerals have been formed, not by subsequent metamorphism in deeply buried sediments, but by reactions going on at the earth's surface...
Seite 74 - Annual Report of the Trustees of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard College in Cambridge, together with the Report of the Director 1866.
Seite 252 - Canada, p. 49 ; while all the forms from the Calumet, like that from Tudor, are isolated, imbedded specimens, unconnected apparently with any continuous reef, such as exists at Grenville and the Petite Nation. It will be seen, from Dr. Dawson's paper, that the minute structure is present in the Tudor specimen, though somewhat obscure ; but in respect to this, strong subsidiary evidence is derived from fragments of Eozoon detected by Dr. Dawson in a specimen collected by myself from the same zone...
Seite 140 - This flora presents close analogy with that of the Coal-formation of Eastern Australia and the plant-bearing beds of Burdwan and Nagpur in India. The characteristic plant in each of these deposits and in the Karoo beds is a GlossopUris ; and it seems that the Indian, Aiistralian, and South-African plants are specifically identical.
Seite 182 - Our forefathers appeared in the Isle of Britain purely as destroyers; nowhere else in Western Europe were the existing men and the existing institutions so utterly swept away. The English wiped out everything Celtic and everything Roman as thoroughly as everything Roman was wiped out of Africa by the Saracen conquerors of Carthage. A more fearful blow never fell on any nation than the landing of the Angles and Saxons was to the Celt of Britain. But we may now be thankful for the barbarism and ferocity...
Seite xxv - It is a source of great satisfaction to me that it should fall to my lot to place in your hands the Wollaston Medal, which has been awarded to you by the Council of this Society in recognition of your distinguished services to geological science.
Seite 108 - As a contribution to the evidence on the geological position of the blocks of saccharoid sandstone scattered on the surface of many parts of the chalk-districts, I beg to lay before the Society a brief account of the occurrence of similar blocks of large size in the Drift of Suffolk, both in situ and on the surface.

Higher productivity growth and technological innovation will generate more resources for financing industrial restructuring and vocational retraining, thereby increasing political support for economic liberalization. At the same time, it is of the utmost importance to bear in mind that there is no single optimal policy stance that is applicable to all countries at all levels of development. A simple replication of policies that...
