   “Laws of Glacier-Motion.—The term differential motion is a condensed expression for all the laws of glacier-motion. It asserts that the different parts of a glacier do not move together as a solid, but move among themselves in the manner of a fluid. A glacier moves like a fluid, though a very stiff, viscous fluid; its motion may therefore be rightly called viscoid. We will mention some of the most important laws of fluid-motion, and show that glaciers conform to them […]”

4. (alt-of, misconstruction, not-comparable)Misconstruction of viscous.

   “Cystic fibrosis has a number of GI [gastrointestinal] complications, mostly resulting from the viscous mucoid inspissated material that occupies the small and large bowel. These include meconium ileus, intussusception, and appendicitis. The colon can also become occupied by the viscoid material, leading to meconium ileus equivalent syndrome, which resembles meconium ileus and predominantly affects the cecum and ascending colon.”
