Abstract
THE most complete published account of the eruption of Vesuvius in April last is due to the enlightened liberality of the French Government, which commissioned Prof. Lacroix to study and report upon the eruption, and it is gratifying to find that this, as all other detailed accounts by qualified scientific observers of the eruption of Vesuvius, confirms in every respect the description which we were able to disentangle from contemporary newspaper reports and publish in our issues of April 12 and 19. As a result of Prof. Lacroix's researches he has, in addition to more detailed memoirs published or to come, communicated to the Revue générale des Sciences of October 30 and November i an interesting account of the result of his observations and deductions, some of which are sufficiently interesting to deserve notice, in extension of what we have already published.
