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...

The gabbros and associated hornblende rocks occurring in the neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland
George Huntington Williams
1886, Bulletin 28
Considerable attention has been devoted during late years to the metamorphism of igneous rocks, and it can now be regarded as placed beyond reasonable doubt that such rocks may be changed to more or less schistose masses, which often closely resemble crystallized sediments. This possibility has heretofore been largely ignored,...
