who with then* hghter complexion and white clothing dwell on 

 the cream-colored granitic terrane. 



As I have already said, the island is entirety occupied by 

 the slope of Hal-la-scm, and appears at first sight to have been 

 formed as it were by a single volcanic convulsion ; but this is 

 by no n^.eans the case. Genthe counted from the ewnnai at a 

 single ghmce about 30 cones jast like the adventives around 

 Fuji-san. I myself did not visit the island, and so am not able 

 to give the details of its earth history and structure, yet I am 

 sure of the existence of a great number of cones with or with- 

 out a top-crater. I mention here only the cones with the crater- 

 lake on top, cited in the native geography '\
