In order (o riglillv understand llicse cnniniiinicalions and in 

 connection with our map, we observe in ihe lirsl place thai instead 

 of east everywhere north-east should be read'), and further that 

 (lie name of Kelelondei is a[)plied in the sense of the Sakasin's, 

 for the elevation called on the niaj» Sempoe. That the depressicm 

 between those two mountains is divided^^b}- an edge into two basins is 

 then however not noticed l»y the author, unless since 1906 the new 

 mass should have been piled up more than a hundred meters higher, 

 and consequentlv the Ketcngen-wall should have ceased to be a 

 characteristic line in this mountain-landscape. But then pretty sureh^ 

 the solfatare of 1901 would have been submerged and through the 

 two oxertlows the mass would have been poured out of the basin. 

 That but for Mr. x-Vhlbukg nothing should have transpired of such 

 indeed enormous changes, where there are established in the Minahassa 

 and in the nearest surroundings exact P]uropean observers, who with 

 scientific zeal are galhering information, is cei'tainlv most inilikely. 

 From what is told and still more from what is not told, I suppose 

 that in reality Mr. A. has not seen antl could not have seen anything 

 more than what is described above according lo Mr. Schoch's indications. 

 Oidy some moi-e material might perhaps ha\ e been added in 1907, 

 and the cone 5, to which in my o])inion only an ephemeral existence 

 may be attributed, might liaxe disappeared. 1 can, howevei-, inuigine 

 that when looking from the lofty north-eastern Sopoetan-crateredge 

 only the cone 4 was perceived, and that the so much lower cone 

 5 as an unimportant knoll remained unobserved.
