Page 8 - As uniform conditions of deposition were local as well as temporary, it is to be assumed that each formation is limited in horizontal extent. The formation should be recognized and should be called by the same name as far as it can be traced and identified by means of its lithologic character, its stratigraphic association, and its contained fossils.

Page 4 - The smoke produced has in no test been more dense with the briquets than with coal; on the contrary, in most tests the smoke density is said to have been less when briquets were used. 4. The use of briquets increases the facility with which an even fire over the whole area of the grate may be maintained.
Page 25 - Exposures of moderate extent appear in the slopes 1J to 2 miles southsouthwest of Howell station. The lower beds are soft, massive buff sandstones. These are overlain by gray and greenish-gray massive shale or clay with thin cherty limestone and sandstone layers. One of the latter is 2 to 3 feet thick. At the top are very dark shales which have been prospected for coal. They are overlain by coarse sandstones at the base of the Cloverly formation. In the exposures west of McGill a 2-foot bed of limestone...
Page 55 - In weathering it absorbs a large amount of water and increases greatly in volume, forming a frothy mantle on the surface which often resembles hoarfrost. When this dries it becomes a soft white powder. Mixed with the proper amount of water it is exceedingly plastic and with the addition of more water becomes a paste resembling glue. Tests show that it completely absorbs over three times its weight or seven times its volume of water and twice as much glycerine as diatomaceous earth will absorb. COMPOSITION....
