 came to a standstill and yet remained unconsolidated, the ' foundered ' 

 marine lava-field is encircled with a series of white fumes, as mav be 

 seen in the picture. Photo by Mr. S. Nakasa, taken on April 4th, 1014. 

 See page 80, 110, 116. 



Fig. 2. — View of the strait of Seto prior to the recent catastroj)he, looldng 

 eastwards from Cape Tatsu-zaki. On the left is the round Akashi-Gongen 

 hill (103 7??.) and the thriving little hot sjjring of Ari-mura. On the 

 right is the butte-like isolated hill of Sakkabira on the Osumi side. It 

 is a detached geologic block of the basal Lapilli Plateau Formation, left 

 isolated during the formation of the Bay of Kagoshima. The same 

 geologic body constitutes the foundation of Sakura-jima. Compare Figs.
