3 m. This epheinerul Lipilli island disappeared on August 1st, 1780. 



No. 2 rose from the sea on November 22nd at a distance of 138 m. 

 (1 cJto 16 hvt) eastwards from No. 1. This pumiceous-rocky mass (hyper- 

 stheue-andesite) forms the present Inoko-JIMA^^ which after the late erup- 

 tion appears above water only at low tide. The islet or pointed rock oft' 

 Oseko-zaki in Text-fig. 12 is the one here referred to. A shoal, lying 

 200 77?. south of Inoko-jima, may represent the ephemeral island No. 1.

1) The writer identified the new islands on modern maps from circumstantial descriptions 

 given in a book, ' Chiri-Sanl^o.' Piecently, K. Yamaguchi {Geogr. Jour\ Tokyo, Jan. 1915) went 

 over the same line of study as the writer, with a result which does not harmonize well with the 

 one at which the writer arrived. He wishes to leave the judgment to others who may care to 

 pursue the same course of historic interpretation. .
