Abstract
EARLY in the morning of April 10, eruptions began in several volcanoes of the southern Andes, most of which were supposed to be dormant or but rarely in action. The volcanoes affected, from north to south, are Tupungato, Overo, Tin-guiririca, Peteroa, Descabezado, Las Yeguas, and Quizapu. Their heights diminish southwards, from 21,810 ft. for Tupungato to 11,342 ft. for Las Yeguas. All of them were in action simultaneously, though the distance that separates the extreme mountains is about 200 miles.
