Abstract
THE accompanying narratives of a singular visitation which has befallen the town of Stanley in the Falk-lands may be of some interest to the readers of NATURE. Though the causes are so different, the effects of the bursting of a peat-bog in some respects curiously simulate those of a lava-flow. The papers have at different times been sent to Kew from the Colonial Office. It is partly in the hope that their publication may lead to some practical suggestion for dealing with the trouble that I ask for their insertion in your columns.
