III.-The Work of Prof. Henry Carvill Lewis in Glacial Geology
Warren Upham
1889, Geological Magazine (6) 155-160
The recent notice of the life and work of Prof. Henry Carvill Lewis, whose lamented death occurred in Manchester, July 21st, 1888, in his thirty-fifth year, well indicates the wide range of his scientific labours. He published valuable results of investigations in astronomy, mineralogy and petrology, and especially in glacial...
II.-Subaerial Deposits of the Arid Region of North America
Israel C. Russell
1889, Geological Magazine (6) 342-350
A Comparison of adobe with the loess of China forms the concluding part of this paper; but as no analyses of the Chinese deposit are known to me, a few analyses of the loess of the Mississippi Valley are inserted, not with the assumption, however, that the deposits bearing the...

Geology of the quicksilver deposits of the Pacific slope, with an atlas
George Ferdinand Becker

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...
IV.-Some Definitions in Dynamical Geology
W.J. McGee
1888, Geological Magazine (5) 489-495
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...
II.-The Jordan-Arabah Depression and the Dead Sea
Israel C. Russell
1888, Geological Magazine (5) 387-395
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...
VII.—On Hindeastraea, a New Generic Form of Cretaceous Astraeidae
Charles A. White
1888, Geological Magazine (5) 362-364
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...
I.-The Jordan-Arabah Depression and the Dead Sea
Israel C. Russell
1888, Geological Magazine (5) 337-344
The following account of the geology of the Dead Sea basin A. has been compiled from the observations of others, and I am especially indebted in this connection to H. J. Johnson, Geologist of the United States Expedition to the Dead Sea, to Professor Louis Lartet, Geologist of the Due...
