The Works of the Rev. Hugh Binning Five feet of wood or plant may produce about one foot of bituminous coal, or six-tenths of a foot of anthracite. The Economic Aspect of Geology If the bituminous type of filler is employed, the hot filler is poured onto the surface and worked into the joints by means of squeegees, with comparatively little material left on the surface. American Rural Highways Vast beds of the finest bituminous and anthracite coal exist in rich profusion in its inexhaustible coal-fields. Chambers's Edinburgh Journal, No. 458 Volume 18, New Series, October 9, 1852 I must tell you that this coal is bituminous, and not anthracite.” The Land of the Kangaroo Adventures of Two Youths in a Journey through the Great Island Continent The water however of what Milton describes as— “That bituminous lake where Sodom dam'd” —though excessively bitter, and so heavy that the most impetuous waves can scarcely ruffle its surface is now perfectly transparent.

The Economic Aspect of Geology Seal Coat.—After the rolling has been completed, the surface is covered with hot bituminous cement and dressed with pea gravel or stone chips and again rolled. American Rural Highways Anthracite has been found in Cebú,1 and satisfactory trials have been made with it, mixed with British bituminous coal. The Philippine Islands The coal was of the bituminous variety, having a jet black color and slaty structure. Old Mackinaw The Fortress of the Lakes and its Surroundings It's a mistake, I think: the resemblance is to bituminous coal—but it is from the periodicals that we must get our data. The Book of the Damned For the bituminous coal the average resource cost is probably not much over five cents a ton. The Economic Aspect of Geology If a bituminous coating has been applied, it will eventually peel off in places and these places must be recoated as soon as practicable. American Rural Highways Perhaps volcanic action may account for the volatile bituminous oils and gases having been driven off the original deposits. The Philippine Islands Coal.—The coal is highly bituminous, a character in common with all that has been seen in the State, and it may safely be said, that none other may be looked for in the peninsula. Old Mackinaw The Fortress of the Lakes and its Surroundings Our acceptance that coal has fallen from the sky will be via data of resinous substances and bituminous substances, which merge so that they cannot be told apart. The Book of the Damned The next stage in coal formation is bituminous coal.

Lippincott's Magazine of Popular Literature and Science Volume 11, No. 24, March, 1873 Coal which is younger and has been less changed by the heat and pressure brought to bear upon it when it was buried deep in the earth, is known as bituminous. The Western United States A Geographical Reader The combinations to restrict competition among bituminous coal producers have been of a very different sort from those in force among the anthracite producers. Monopolies and the People A variety of bituminous coal, called cannel coal, is characterized by an unusually high percentage of volatile matter, which causes it to ignite easily. The Economic Aspect of Geology The surface of the macadam must therefore be thoroughly cleaned before the bituminous material is applied. American Rural Highways Grates, for bituminous coal, should have a flue nearly as deep as the grate; and the bars should be round, and not close together. A Treatise on Domestic Economy For the Use of Young Ladies at Home and at School Petrolean springs and mineral oil fountains are frequent near this village, and the whole country here appears bituminous, the bed of the Thames being composed of shales highly impregnated with it. Canada and the Canadians, Vol. 2 Like all bituminous earths, it needs the strongest drying oil. Field's Chromatography or Treatise on Colours and Pigments as Used by Artists There are gradations from bituminous coal into anthracite coal. The Economic Aspect of Geology There will ordinarily be some stone dust and some screenings remaining on the surface at the time bituminous treatment is undertaken, and there may also be some caked mud or other foreign material. American Rural Highways Among different bituminous substances, the names naphtha and petroleum have been given to those which are fluid; maltha, to that which has the consistence of pitch; and asphaltum, to that which is solid.
