IV.-Some Definitions in Dynamical Geology
In view of the active discussion of the problems of earth-movement and mountain-growth now current, certain fundamental definitions, growing out of the discrimination of processes commonly confounded but really distinct, seem to be timely.The various processes with which the geologist has to deal fall naturally into two principal and antagonistic categories and five subordinate and supplemental ca

II.-The Jordan-Arabah Depression and the Dead Sea
The occurrence of numerous terraces on the mountain slopes over-looking the Dead Sea has been reported by several observers, but no accurate measurements of their elevations or definite correlation of the terraces on the opposite slopes of the depression, seem to have been attempted. In the central part of the Wady Arabah on the west flank of the promontory known as Samrat el Fedan, a terrace, or

VII.—On Hindeastraea, a New Generic Form of Cretaceous Astraeidae
The little Coral here described was discovered in Kaufman County, Texas, in strata of the Kipley Group, by Dr. R. H. Loughridge, and presented by him to me, together with a few characteristic molluscan species of that group which he found associated with it. The Ripley Group is the uppermost division of the Cretaceous series in the States which border upon the Gulf of Mexico; and probably represen

Geology of the quicksilver deposits of the Pacific slope, with an atlas
The field work of the investigations recorded in this volume occupied nearly the whole of three seasons, beginning in 1883. All the mines might have been examined and the maps colored in a much shorter time, but it was found soon after the examinations were begun that they could not be completed satisfactorily without also solving some important general problems affecting the whole region, and muc
