Abstract
THE last number (vol. ix. part 2) of the Transactions of the Seismological Society of Japan is wholly occupied by a paper of Prof. Milne's, on Japanese volcanoes, which is the longest contribution that has yet appeared in the Society's Transactions, The paper is partly historical and partly scientific, and contains, so far as the writer has been able to collect, references to everything that is known on the subject. Very much comes from his own observations, for he has travelled over the greater part of Japan, and has ascended many of the volcanoes. The paper also contains an epitome of some thirty or forty works in Japanese. On the whole, it is a systematic account of material which has been accumulating for the last eleven years.
