FERREL, William "Meterological Effects Upon the Heights of Tides". In the American Journal of Science, New Haven, CT., January-June, 3rd series, volume V, whole number vol 105, nos. 25-30. (Edited by James D. Dana and Benjamin Silliman, with Asa Gray and Wolcott Gibbs, and others). BOUND in half-leather, which is in GOOD condition. Provenance: Harvard University, the gift of Wolcott Gibbs, one of this journal's editors.|\| This is anther interesting volumes of the AJS, with powerhouse/leading-light contributors in every corner of the volume, including: Mr. William Ferrel An early giant of climatology and meteorology; MITCHELL, Maria, "Notes of Observations on Jupiter and its Satellites" (regarded by many as the "first U.S. Woman astronomer of note). Also includes FERREL, William" Meteorological Effects Upon the Heights of Tides". "The second general field of work in which Ferrel engaged was the study of the tides as 'such. This subject he developed, both analytically and numerically, and finally even mechanically, so that his machine for the mechanical prediction of the maxima and the minima of the tide remains to this day in constant use at the office of the Coast and Geodetic Survey."--Cleveland Abbe, Memoir on William Ferrel, National Academy of Science, April 1892. |\| "Researches in Actino-chemistry. Memoir Second. On the Distribution of Chemical Force in the Spectrum",  (in two parts), by John William Draper (a physician who was an all-around highly-capable experimentalist and thinker across many fields, including pioneering work in photography and extensive work on the nature of radiant heat). "On the Experimental Determination of the Relative Intensities of Sounds", (in two parts) by Alfred M. Mayer ("a leading figure in physics and acoustics, ".the discovery that the fibrils of the antennae of the male mosquito vibrate sympathetically to notes which have the range of pitch of the sounds given out by the female mosquito; and the determination of the laws of vibration of tuning forks, especially in the direction of the bearing of these laws on the action of the chronoscopes that are used in determining the velocities of projectiles."--Wikipedia) "On the relation between Color and Geographical Distribution in Birds, as exhibited in Melanism and Hyperchromism ", by Robert Ridgway. ("Ridgway was an American ornithologist specializing in systematics. He was appointed in 1880 by Spencer Fullerton Baird, secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, to be the first full-time curator of birds at the United States National Museum.") "On the gigantic fossil Mammals of the Order Dinocerata", by O. C. Marsh (of monumental paleo importance).  "Observations on the duration and multiple character of Flashes of Lightning", by Ogden N. Rood (an outstanding figure in color theory, optics, and photography). "On some points in Dynamical Geology", by T. Sterry Hunt (another leading geologist and chemist, as well as a very early figure in the history of climate change. "Building upon John Tyndall's research on greenhouse gases, Hunt first proposed the theory which linked climate change from the Carboniferous to the modern age to concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in an 1863 submission to the American Journal of Science and Arts."--Wiki) "On the Origin of Mountains"; by James D. Dana (the renowned geologist and also editor of this journal). "Some remarks on the Geological Structure of a district of country lying to the north of the Grand Canon of the Colorado", by J. W. Powell (another bronto of a figure in geology and paleo, as well as an explorer in the US West. …
