We arrived at the conclusion that there must be many forms of motion of great and far- reaching importance, though hitherto hardly known at all, 1 The Norwegian Sea, Bergen, Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Murray, John, Sir, 1841-1914; Hjort, Johan, 1869-.
