Abstract
THE rent that was formed on May 2, 1885, in the upper part of the great cone (NATURE, vol. xxxii. p. 55) gave issue to lava until December 25. A small quantity again issued between January 2 and January 5, 1886, after which no more made its appearance till this new outburst.In consequence of the rise of level of the magma in the chimney, the cone of eruption has grown very much during the last month.
