cone, Nni, lacked its eastern side. The central depression at the 

 crater-floor described by Y.oi.vsaki had been transformed into 

 rugged terraces, t and u in Fig. 18, of which t was 20 m. lower 

 than the flat part denoted by n^\ and u was 40 m. lower than t. 

 At the bottom of ti there was a vent V, IGO m. across, which 

 was successor to the vent at the time of Yamasaki's visit. At 

 the foot of the northern wall of the crater, there was a narrow 

 flat strip of land, m, about 20 m. broad, 500 m. in the total length, 

 30-40 m. higher than the bed n, and appearing like a gallery. 

 This gaUery-like flat strip m must correspond to the crater- floor 

 immediately after the eruption in 1876-'77.'^ From amid the flat 

 bed n, two prominences, r and s, projected abruptly, of which r 

 was a mass consisting of lava -blocks with a miniature craterlet 

 at the top, while s was a loose pyramidal mass of red brown 



1) n was about IIO m. below the upper margin of the crater-wall and must correspond to 

 the flat s'age observed by Yamasaki. 



2) Thaugh nothing is stated alx>jt the gallery m in Yamasaki's descriptions, it must hava. 

 existed at that time.
