" In the two other Cyclopic isles there arc 

 smaller columns, heaped upon each other, or 

 inclined in different directions. 



" Upon the shore of la Trezza, near the pier, 

 there is a very curious group of little articulated 

 columns, which radiate from a common centre, 

 and form fasces singularly contorted; the arti- 

 culations are marked, but the vertebrae, so to 

 speak, do not separate. 



" Upon the shore between the castle of laci 

 and la Trezza, there are many groups of ba- 

 saltic columns, piled in various ways. 



" At the foot of the mountain of the castle of 

 laci, there are many groups of pyramidal diver- 

 gent columns. 



" In the body of this mountain there are large 

 bowls, from two to four feet in diameter, like the 

 large balls of pyrites found in chalk, being 

 formed of pyramidal columns united by their 

 points in a common centre. 



" In the mountains of la Trezza is found a 

 great number of prismatic columns, of different 

 forms and dimensions, many being displaced and 

 lying in the clay. 



" At laci Reale, at the bottom of the cliffs on 

 the sea shore, are seen large prismatic columns, 

 subdivided into many smaller; while on the 

 shore there are many large prismatic columns
