About 7 A.M., the yellow tongue of lava seen last night on 

 the slope above Yokoyama on the west now approached the shore 

 within a distance of 300 to 400 wz. in a black ragged wall with 

 a front, 2 hn. wide, of fuming oxidized gases and sublimates of 

 brown, yellow and white colors. 



About 10.30 A.M., the activity renewed. A new 

 vent, No. 3 (Text-fig. 19), made its appearance about 

 ^km. below the prime venthole of Yunohira (No. 2), displaying 

 a more intense fury than the upper older vents. Later, two other 

 minor ones. Nos. 4 and 5, were opened below the third, thereby 

 adding fluent lavas to those already crawling down the slope in 

 advance at the rate of 45 w. per hour duriug the earlier stage of 

 tlie flow.
