There are anumber of round ftones, thrown to the dif- 
tance of half a mile from the hill, that feem to-have felt 
the force of fire to a confiderable degree: thefe, I fuppofe, 
were thrown out of the hill, by the violence of the erupti- 
on. 
It is the opinion of fome, that the hill has burfted twice; 
and that, the fecond time, it did not run with melted mat- 
ter, as at the firft eruption; but only threw out the large 
lumps of lava, which appear on the top of the ground.

Read Feb. HE crater is nearly filled up, and covered 
eet: with large trees: one fide ftill fhews the hol- 
low appearance of a crater. 
The lava covers the top in many places, but in others 
the congealed lava has been thrown out in large pieces 
around the hill, which feems to be done by an eruption 
fubfequent to the melting and boiling. Pieces, weighing 
one thoufand pounds or more, he around the hill; fome 
near, others more diftant. 
The ftream of lava terminates within twenty yards of 
a creek and is nearly uniform in thicknefs, without any 
large flones, toward the end, but only gravel congealed 
in it. 
The mouldered lava is of the colour of rufty iron, and 
is covered with a rich mould of fix inches, of a different 
appearance, and the fame as covers the adjacent ground.
