Abstract
IN the account given in NATURE, vol. xxv. p. 294, the eruption that has been going on in December was described up to the last day of 1881. As the height of the lava column had been diminished by the lateral outlets, the surface was consequently some considerable distance below the lip of the crater, its level on ordinary occasions being only a few metres below.
