Deductive Logic The glands of the involucres are elliptic or oblong, and even the seeds vary in shape. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation We descended through this breach toward the bottom of the funnel, the figure of which is elliptic. Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America, During the Year 1799-1804 — Volume 1 The leaves are large and elliptic, six inches long, and are rendered strangely conspicuous from the foot-stalks and midrib being dull crimson, this affording a striking contrast to the delicate green of the leaves.

Theological Essays and Other Papers — Volume 1 The pedicels of the tentacles are flattened, or elliptic in section. Insectivorous Plants They were all arched elliptically by bending the bough of a tree at a certain height from the ground, and resting the other end on a forked stick at the opposite side of the arch. Expedition into Central Australia Draper nearly always looked in on him for a moment before dinner: it was the hour most propitious to their elliptic interchange of words and silences. Tales of Men and Ghosts Leaves rather small, elliptic, almost stalkless, and perforated with transparent dots. Hardy Ornamental Flowering Trees and Shrubs A similar difficulty takes place in figuring specula for telescopes; the parabola is the surface which separates the hyperbolic from the elliptic figure, and is the most difficult to form. On the Economy of Machinery and Manufactures Among the Rig-Veda hymns are certain poems in Dialogue form, which from their curious and elliptic character have been the subject of much discussion among scholars. From Ritual to Romance It was evident that the elliptic orbits of the planets were subject to change, but it was entirely beyond the power of investigation, at that time, to assign any cause for such changes. Side-Lights on Astronomy and Kindred Fields of Popular Science About a mile southward of Banks' Cove, there is a fine elliptic crater, about five hundred feet in depth, and three-quarters of a mile in diameter. Volcanic Islands This is a bushy shrub, with almost erect, long, and slender branches, and furnished with leaves an inch long, elliptic, and thick of texture. Hardy Ornamental Flowering Trees and Shrubs Leaves: 3 to 8 in. long, downy, elliptic, pointed, many ribbed. Wild Flowers An Aid to Knowledge of Our Wild Flowers and Their Insect Visitors Portion of one of the secondary wing-feathers near to the body, shewing the so-called elliptic ornaments. The Descent of Man Tycho's observations would not have been sufficiently accurate to have exhibited the elliptic nature of a planetary orbit which, like that of Venus, differed very little from a circle. Great Astronomers What would be thought of an astronomer who maintained that the satellites revolve in elliptic courses round their planets "for the sake of symmetry," because the planets thus revolve round the sun? The Origin of Species by means of Natural Selection, 6th Edition If, on the other hand, the disturbance were to make the satellite depart from its initial elliptic orbit in ever widening circuits, the motion would be unstable. Darwin and Modern Science Leaves: Oval or elliptic, pointed, 3 to 5 in, long, parallel-nerved, sheathing. Wild Flowers An Aid to Knowledge of Our Wild Flowers and Their Insect Visitors Rows of spots running down to and forming the elliptic ornaments. b. The Descent of Man Venus and the earth, of course, attract each other, and in consequence of these mutual attractions the earth is swayed from the elliptic track which it would otherwise pursue. Great Astronomers Lieutenant Procope pointed out that these curves evidently had reference to the orbits of comets, which are variously parabolic, hyperbolic, or elliptic. Off on a Comet! a Journey through Planetary Space As the shrinkage and corresponding increase of density proceed, the planetary spheroid becomes more and more elliptic, and the succession of forms constitutes a family classified according to the density of the liquid. Darwin and Modern Science Leaves: Alternate, entire, oval or elliptic, 2 to 5 in, long. Wild Flowers An Aid to Knowledge of Our Wild Flowers and Their Insect Visitors Each row of spots runs down to and is connected with one of the elliptic ornaments, in exactly the same manner as each stripe in Fig. The Descent of Man It "disturbs," as the astronomer says, the elliptic orbit which would otherwise have been pursued. Great Astronomers Six Hundred inorganic individuals, essential for its regeneration and salvation, sit there, on their elliptic benches, longing passionately towards life; in painful durance; like souls waiting to be born. The French Revolution This difference is found to reside in the fact that the equator, which in the planetary family has hitherto been circular in section, tends to become elliptic. Darwin and Modern Science Its thin leaves are more elliptic than the decidedly clover-like ones of the preceding species; its rose-purple flowers are more loosely clustered, and the stems are only sparingly hairy, never woolly. Wild Flowers An Aid to Knowledge of Our Wild Flowers and Their Insect Visitors These shaded tints together fill up the whole inner space of the elliptic ornament. The Descent of Man Hence it follows that in the actual planetary system where there are several planets disturbing each other, it is not true to say that the orbits are absolutely elliptic. Great Astronomers These planets mutually attract each other, and in consequence of their mutual attractions the orbits of the planets are disturbed from the simple elliptic form which they would otherwise possess. Great Astronomers As this goes on the equator of these Jacobian figures becomes more and more elliptic, so that the shape is considerably elongated in a direction at right angles to the axis of rotation. Darwin and Modern Science Leaf: Solitary, rising from the corm in autumn, elliptic, broad, plaited-nerved, 4 to 6 in. long. Wild Flowers An Aid to Knowledge of Our Wild Flowers and Their Insect Visitors Between one of the elliptic ornaments and a perfect ball-and-socket ocellus, the gradation is so perfect that it is scarcely possible to decide when the latter term ought to be used. The Descent of Man We may illustrate the matter by supposing the planet to be running like a railway engine on a track which has been laid in a long elliptic path. Great Astronomers With further shrinkage the elliptic cylinders become unstable, a new form of bifurcation is reached, and the stability passes over to a series of cylinders whose section is pear-shaped. Darwin and Modern Science This stage in the process is a form of bifurcation, and the stability passes over to a new series consisting of cylinders which are elliptic in section. Darwin and Modern Science The stem, which sometimes floats, sometimes is immersed, may attain a length of twenty feet; the rounded, elliptic, petioled leaves may be four inches long or only half that size. Wild Flowers An Aid to Knowledge of Our Wild Flowers and Their Insect Visitors The circular cylinders are exactly analogous with our planetary spheroids, and the elliptic ones with the Jacobian ellipsoids.
