Plate XXII 



View of Bandai-san from it* north-eastern side at distance of 

 about six kilometres, from the former site of the hamlet of Akimoto. 

 The linear arrangement of steam-fissures is ai once apparent to the eye. 

 The level tract in the foreground shows the levelling effect by the' 

 mud stream, in which may be seen accumulations of water. A 

 little farther away we find innumerable conical mounds. »lust above 

 the masses of these mounds on the left hand side, is seen the rocky 

 exposure of a ridge which has had its loamy crust completely scraped 

 off. Between this ridge and the prominent tree-covered peak of 

 lvushi gamine iust behind, stretches the valley of the Nagase-gawa. 



On the right hand side behind the group of conical mounds is 

 seen the extensive slope, formerly known as Obudaira, converted into 

 waste desert. The prominence at the termination of the steam column 

 is Marumori-yama.
