Sivu 56 - Babylon hath been a golden cup in the Lord's hand, that made all the earth drunken : the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.
Sivu 63 - Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
Sivu cxxii - In bad cases it is probable that almost every villus, from the pylorus to the iliocsecal valve, has been stripped of its epithelial coating during life. . . . These important organs, the villi, are, in a very bad case, all or nearly all left bare, and a very essential part of what constitutes the absorbing apparatus is completely destroyed. . . . It is probable that the extent of this process of denudation determines the severity or mildness of the attack.
Sivu 384 - ... 0.47 mm. thick, covered with very minute distinct or sometimes a little confluent warts; microspores papillose, 0.024 to 0.028 mm.
Sivu 580 - Journ. Geol., IV, 1896, pp. 93, 308. The original description is as follows: Frond ellipsoid, but cyathiform in its growing state. Numerous delicate branches, with two or three bifurcations, radiating from a common radicle. Some of these touch or overlie each other, but they are quite unconnected. The texture is corneous. with the surface striated and marked with minute depressions or pits, which indicate the former position of the cellule. These depressions are about the fourth of a millimeter in...
Sivu 583 - Hall's description of the genus follows: — A plant-like, corneous coral, with numerous bifurcating branches; structure fibrous or plumose. The texture of this coral is similar to the graptolites, a black scaly crust or film being all that remains of the substance. From the specimens examined, it appears to have grown in groups, with rounded or flattened stems, which are dichotomous above and more or less spreading.
Sivu 568 - The frond is low :ind broadly flabellate, originating from a short slender stipe, which divides twice or thrice, after which the divisions extend to the summit of the several lobes, and send off branches at irregular distances on both sides. The branches give rise to lateral branchlets rather than bifurcations. The branches are short and slender, not exceeding one-third of a millimeter in thickness. The surface is striated ; the cellular openings are minute and oval, but usually indistinct. Figure...
Sivu 571 - In spreading gently above in undulations the branches are more or less parallel and situated closely together, and are connected occasionally with exceeding fine transverse bars. The texture is corneous, with the surface obliquely striated and marked with ellipsoid pits, which in some places indicate the orifices of the cells, of which there were about two for every millimeter of length of branch. The branches are rarely connected by minute crossbars. The general outline is that of a regular oval...
Sivu 569 - Frond small and shrublike, with long flexous stipe extending to the summit. and giving off branches, usually, alternate and at unequal distances, and diverging from each other at considerable angles. From both stipe and branches there are numerous spinelike branchlets, which sometimes have dichotomous terminations. The surface is striated, but the cellular structure is not preserved. The branches vary from one-third to one-half of a millimeter (in different specimens) in thickness, with somewhat...
Sivu 581 - Frond shrublike. consisting of thick branches, principally rising from near the base, with little divergence and some bifurcations. One side of the branches is furnished with prominent spines or dentacles, which appear to mark the cell-apertures.
