fracture and composition is similar to that of 
many other basaltes found near our principal 
*volcanoes. With these lava is found, in many 
situations; it is almust gencrally exposed in the 
beds and at the banks of the rivulets; either in 
solitary rocks or in collected groupes; it re-

this Islands the color is black, the fracture 
yesicular, or similar to slags, and it emits when

t kind was found, on my further route, at intervals 
in every part of the environs of this mountain, 
and has probably been ejected from the crater, 
like most of our recent lavas, in masses, which 
having congealed near the sammit, rolled to the 
declivities in solid slaggy fragments. The ele- 
vation of the environs of the village of Kali-
