An important generic character consists in the geminationof the cell at each bifurcation.
Another point of difference from Catenicella is the non-gemination of the cell at the dichotomy of a branch.
Whereunto while men assent, and can believe a bicipitous conformation in any continued species, they admit a gemination of principle parts, not naturally discovered in any Animal.
From this condition of the planet it is impossible to believe that the curious phenomenon of the doubling or gemination of the canals can be due to any physical changes now taking place.
Furthermore, the gemination may lie concealed from the observer some time after it is quite complete, owing to lack of favorable atmospheric conditions.
Mr. Lowell feels tolerably sure that the doubling, or gemination of the canals, show that the phenomenon is not only seasonal but vegetal.
From this important fact it is immediately understood that the geminationcannot be a fixed formation upon the surface of Mars and of a geographical character like the canals.
But it will be noticed that in any case the gemination cannot be a work of permanent character, it being certain that in a given instance it may change its appearance and dimensions from one season to another.
In many canals (such as the Nilosyrtis, for example), the gemination is lacking entirely, or is scarcely visible.
In these cases the gemination is naturally short and does not exceed the limits of the original lake.
The gemination is not necessarily confined only to the canals, but tends to be produced also in the lakes.
The gemination is not shown by all at the same time, but when the season is at hand it begins to be produced here and there, in an isolated, irregular manner, or at least without any easily recognizable order.
D] The observation of thegemination is one of the greatest difficulty, and can only be made by an eye well practiced in such work, added to a telescope of accurate construction and of great power.
Sum instances of gemination as wel as of simplified gemination in the MSS.
Gemination occurs of its own initiative, but is conditioned by convenience.
For gemination is an attribute of certain canals and never of others.
And yet when gemination takes place a curious thing occurs: each borrows its neighbor's terminal as departure-point for its own duplicate canal.
In other words, the width of the gemination is a personal peculiarity of the particular canal, as much an idiosyncrasy of it as its position on the planet.
In consequence Schiaparelli deemed gemination a process which the canal periodically underwent.
This in a word is the phenomenon, technically called the gemination of the canals, which has since its discovery called forth so much comment.
Had the observations here been all that one could wish, the method of gemination would have been certain and of great interest.
An account of the process of gemination may thus suitably come before that of its result.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "gemination" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
