Página 199 - The frequency of these monoclinal detached blocks gives abundant warrant for the assertions of Powell and Gilbert that the region is one prominently characterized by vertical action; yet when we come to examine with greater detail the structure of the individual mountain ranges it is seen that this vertical dislocation took place after the whole area was compressed into a great region of anticlinals with intermediate synclinals.
Página 2 - Continuing his observations, especially during the present summer, he has been able to trace the life-history of those species producing galls on our own elms, and to show that they all agree in this respect, and that the impregnated egg produced by the female is consigned to the sheltered portions of the trunk of the tree, and there hibernates — the issue from it being the stem-mother which founds the gall-inhabiting colony the ensuing spring.

Their issue, or the third generation, show certain marked structural differences from the first (see description), and are destined to become winged.
