Halaman 289 - The manner," says Mr. Newport, "in which the honey is obtained when the organ is plunged into it at the bottom of a flower, is by ' lapping, ' or a constant succession of short and quick extensions and contractions of the organ, which occasion the fluid to accumulate upon it and to ascend along its upper surface, until it reaches the orifice of the tube formed by the approximation of the maxilla?

Halaman 211 - ... under exactly the conditions which prevail in actual work with this instrument. It was therefore determined to try the method with the meridian circle of Harvard College Observatory. Professor Pickering kindly authorized the expense of the construction of the necessary apparatus, which was designed by Mr. Geo. B. Clark, of the firm of Alvan Clark & Sons, and which was made under his superintendence. A ring having an outside face of two inches was made in two halves and securely fastened to the...
