 1886 — This was a remarkable year for earthquakes and 

 volcanic eruptions. In June occurred the terrible 

 eruptions at Mount Taracuera, in New Zealand. On 

 July 23 there was a violent eruption of Cotopaxi, 

 in the Andes. On August 28 began the great 

 series of earthquakes so destructive at Zante and 

 elsewhere in Greece, and which were felt through- 

 out the Mediterranean region. On August 31 and 

 following days occurred the severe earthquakes 

 which, centering at Charleston, South Carolina, ex 

 tended over a great part of the United States, and 

 were felt slightly even in the Lake region of Canada.
