Bulletin of the United States Geological Survey No. 90
Report describing work done in the division of chemistry and physics during the fiscal year of 1891. It includes summaries with findings for much of the research.
The Compressibility of Liquids
A report about certain researches on the thermodynamics of liquids in progress at the laboratory.
Correlation Papers: Neocene
From outline: This paper, after discussing general principles connected with the study and description of the Tertiary or Cenozoic rocks and fossils contained in them, takes up the Neocene deposits of the United States in particular. A chapter is devoted to a summary of what is known in regard to the Neocene of the eastern coast of the United States, each State in geographical order being separately considered, beginning at the north.
Earthquakes in California in 1890 and 1891
A paper which records all of the shocks observed or felt on Mount Hamilton, and all of those reported to the Lick Observatory by letter; as well as newspaper reports of such earthquakes as occurred in the state during that year.
The Mechanism of Solid Viscosity
A report about about the viscosity of solids which have an immediate bearing on the molecular mechanism by which viscous motion in solids is promoted.
Some Insects of Special Interest from Florissant, Colorado and Other Points in the Tertiaries of Colorado and Utah
A report about the characteristics of a few Oligocene insects of different orders which, from some peculiarity, have been thought worthy of special study out of serial course.
The Volume Thermodynamics of Liquids
From preface: In the following chapters, I have commenced a serious study of the volume thermodynamics of liquids and solids. The work is, as yet, confined to volume, pressure, and temperature. Questions involving entropy and energy are also in active progress, but can not be included in the present bulletin.
