Sivu 798 - The great merit of his paper consists in having brought these new facts and ideas to bear on the structure and origin of coral reefs. He has shown how the foundations for coral reefs have been prepared by the disintegration of volcanic islands and by the building up of submarine volcanoes by the deposition on their summits of sediments composed mainly of dead organisms. He has further shown that the food of the coral consists chiefly of the abundant oceanic life brought ceaselessly to them by the...

Roy. Soc., 1869, p. 453). "warm...

Sivu 613 - It seems probable that it is essentially unstable when the energy is a minimax ; but I do not know that this proposition has been ever proved. (k) If there be any viscosity, however slight, in the liquid, or if there be any imperfectly elastic solid, however small, floating on it or sunk within it, the equilibrium in any case of energy either a minimax or a maximum cannot be secularly stable ; and the only secularly stable configurations are those in which the energy is a minimum with given moment...
