6. Among the Brachyura, Conseil mentions some amanthia crabs whose fronts were armed with two big diverging tips, those inachus scorpions that—lord knows why—symbolized wisdom to the ancient Greeks, spider crabs of the massena and spinimane varieties that had probably gone astray in these shallows because they usually live in the lower depths, xanthid crabs, pilumna crabs, rhomboid crabs, granular box crabs (easy on the digestion, as Conseil ventured to observe), toothless masked crabs, ebalia crabs, cymopolia crabs, woolly–handed crabs, etc

11. 2 (a) the stocks, for which combinations created according to strategy 1 appeared to be more profitable than combinations created according to strategy 2, that is, stocks belonging to subset P, are marked by rhombi
12. Cells highlighted by rhombi mark stocks for which this strategy turned out to be more profitable than the alternative one
13. (a) Number of matches of circles and rhombi is small, which means that the criterion frequently gives erroneous estimates
14. (b) Number of matches of circles and rhombi is higher, which means that the criterion is performing effectively
15. If the criteria were perfect and performed without a single fault, in each case when it indicated the stocks for which strategy 1 should be applied (circles), this strategy would turn out to be better than strategy 2 (rhombi)
16. In this ideal case all the cells highlighted by circles would also be marked by rhombi
17. And vice versa; the strategy recognized by the criterion as inferior to its alternative may turn out to be the most profitable one (cells highlighted only by rhombi)
18. 2 (a) reveals that the criterion performed properly only in three cases (when rhombi and circles matched)
19. 1 gives us 40 × 30 / 400 = 3, meaning that under the assumption of criterion ineffectiveness (that is, randomly distributed rhombi), the number of cells containing both circles and rhombi is expected to be around this figure
20. 2 (a), we observed exactly this number of matches of circles and rhombi
21. Although in the first case the number of cases when the criterion performed effectively (that is, when circles and rhombi matched) was low, in the second case it was high
22. where B is the number of stocks (initial set of underlying assets); K is the number of stocks for which the criterion judged a certain strategy as superior relative to all the other alternatives; P is the number of stocks for which this strategy turned out to be more profitable than the other strategies; KP is the number of stocks that belong to both sets K and P (in our examples KP is the number of matches of circles and rhombi; and in real trading a stock belongs to KP if the criterion selects a certain strategy for the stock and this strategy is confirmed to be the best one according to the realized profit)
23. At the other end of the series we have the cells of the hive-bee, placed in a double layer: each cell, as is well known, is an hexagonal prism, with the basal edges of its six sides bevelled so as to join an inverted pyramid, of three rhombs
24. These rhombs have certain angles, and the three which form the pyramidal base of a single cell on one side of the comb, enter into the composition of the bases of three adjoining cells on the opposite side
25. 41421 (or at some lesser distance), from the centres of the six surrounding spheres in the same layer; and at the same distance from the centres of the adjoining spheres in the other and parallel layer; then, if planes of intersection between the several spheres in both layers be formed, there will result a double layer of hexagonal prisms united together by pyramidal bases formed of three rhombs; and the rhombs and the sides of the hexagonal prisms will have every angle identically the same with the best measurements which have been made of the cells of the hive-bee
26. In some parts, only small portions, in other parts, large portions of a rhombic plate were thus left between the opposed basins, but the work, from the unnatural state of things, had not been neatly performed
27. In ordinary combs it has appeared to me that the bees do not always succeed in working at exactly the same rate from the opposite sides; for I have noticed half-completed rhombs at the base of a just-commenced cell, which were slightly concave on one side, where I suppose that the bees had excavated too quickly, and convex on the opposed side where the bees had worked less quickly
28. In one well-marked instance, I put the comb back into the hive, and allowed the bees to go on working for a short time, and again examined the cell, and I found that the rhombic plate had been completed, and had become PERFECTLY FLAT: it was absolutely impossible, from the extreme thinness of the little plate, that they could have effected this by gnawing away the convex side; and I suspect that the bees in such cases stand in the opposed cells and push and bend the ductile and warm wax (which as I have tried is easily done) into its proper intermediate plane, and thus flatten it
29. Even in the rude circumferential rim or wall of wax round a growing comb, flexures may sometimes be observed, corresponding in position to the planes of the rhombic basal plates of future cells
30. These walls, as Professor Miller has kindly ascertained for me, vary greatly in thickness; being, on an average of twelve measurements made near the border of the comb, 1/352 of an inch in thickness; whereas the basal rhomboidal plates are thicker, nearly in the proportion of three to two, having a mean thickness, from twenty-one measurements, of 1/229 of an inch
31. The bees, of course, no more knowing that they swept their spheres at one particular distance from each other, than they know what are the several angles of the hexagonal prisms and of the basal rhombic plates; the motive power of the process of natural selection having been the construction of cells of due strength and of the proper size and shape for the larvae, this being effected with the greatest possible economy of labour and wax; that individual swarm which thus made the best cells with least labour, and least waste of honey in the secretion of wax, having succeeded best, and having transmitted their newly-acquired economical instincts to new swarms, which in their turn will have had the best chance of succeeding in the struggle for existence
32. Head large, broad, oval, obtuse, very distinct from the neck, nearly two inches long, flattened, coppered brown above, and covered with large, smooth scales; yellow underneath, as well as the neck, and with rhomboidal smooth scales
33. Back flattened anteriorly, a little angular in the middle, covered with small rhomboidal, obtuse, keeled scales; those of the sides larger and smooth, not keeled; centre of the back of a brownish copper colour; sides of a bright copper; broad bands or rings, becoming forked on each side, and assuming nearly the shape of a St
34. The chabasie and stilbite occupy cavities, and the chabasie is often distinctly crystalized in a rhomboid, so nearly approaching a cube, in the quantity of its angles, that the mistake is easily committed of supposing them to be cubes; the crystals are sometimes transparent, and the largest a quarter of an inch in diameter
35. The form of the crystals is a rhomboid, approximating very much to that of the felspar, and which has inclined some to consider it as such
36. Hayden without doubt alludes to the chabasie of the Abbé Haüy, formerly but inaccurately called the cubic zeolite; for it is really a rhomboid very nearly approaching a cube—its angles being 93° 48′, and 86° 12′
37. On these two hills, it lies in large strata, inclining, like the mica slate, to the east and northeast, often divided by veins into rhomboidal masses
38. In one place it forms plates, from 2 to 5 feet on a side, and from half an inch to several inches in thickness, which are nearly perfect rhomboids, the edges never being perpendicular to the sides
39. Between the strata are crystals of carbonate of lime, rhomboidal, and tending to the lenticular form
40. On Green River, one and a half mile south of the college, it lies in thin strata, which are divided by seams into very regular rhomboidal plates of various sizes
41. The silicious feldspar, which I suspect to be the basis of the granite, crystallizes in thin rhomboidal tables
42. It crystallizes in rhomboidal tables, rarely truncated on the acute angles, passing into the hexaedral table
