Plaie XXXIII. 



Tiie map of tlie iieigUbourhooJ of Kamamoto in tlie islau 1 of Iviü-shü, compiled 

 by myself from various sources. It shows the seat of source of tlie earthquake iu 

 1889, in the extinct volcano of Kimposan (Kibo-zan) with an old somma around it. 

 A-B, C-D, and C-E are the lines of fissure, formed at the time of the severe shocks ; 

 the shaded (blue) portion being the meizoseismic area in which buildings had been 

 all more or less damaged. A portion of the city of Kumamoto, shaded in red, had 

 been intensely shaken, on -ticcount of its being once marshy ground of which we 

 have many historical proofs.
