In 1887 the first outbreak was in the evening of January 16 at 

 an elevation of about 11,500 feet on the southwest, and flow began, 

 from a little below Puu o Keokeo, in the evening of January 18. 



The exact places of these upper outbreaks were not mapped in 

 either instance. 



In 1907, on account of weather conditions adverse for distant 

 seeing, only vague accounts were given. Nevertheless, mention is 

 made, perhaps doubtfully, of an outbreak judged to be at the 

 summit, preceding by a few hours the outbreak of flow lower on 

 the flank. 



Hence, though the places of outflow in several of these eruptions 

 have been found suggestively near to Puu o Keokeo, still there is 

 no doubt that the eruptive action in all cases extended far up the 

 south flank of Mauna Loa beyond this group of old cones. More- 

 over, critical study of the distribution of these heads of flow develops 

 no causal association with this as a center.
