exerted from below. We may consider Teneriffe, says Lyell, as having been from 

 a remote period the principal and habitual vent of the volcanic Archipelago of 

 the Canaries. This Map shows the whole island, the "Canadas" and their relation 

 to the modern lavas, the crater of Chahorra, and the snow-clad Peak of Teyde.

No. 1242. Relief Map of Palma. 



Palma is a type of 

 Von Buch's " crater of 

 elevation." The Map 

 represents the entire 

 island, showing the 

 two mountain masses 

 of which it consists, 

 the deep cavity — "La 

 -in the centre, and the great ravine or " barranco" leading to the sea.

No. 1243. Relief Map of Bourbon. 



This volcanic island, called Reunion by the French, is covered with mountains 

 which are separated by narrow valleys. The Piton de Neiges is an extinct volcano, 

 while Peton de la Fournaise is known to have been active, like Popocatepetl, 

 for periods of 60 or even 150 years. This map shows the relation of ancient 

 trachyte and basalt to volcanic rocks and craters of modern date, and to the coral 

 reefs which fringe the island. Size, 10 x 9. Price, $4.00. 



No. 1244. Relief Map of Mont Blanc. 



This celebrated mountain is the culminating point of the Alps and of all 

 Europe. This relief Map, colored geologically, exhibits the mountain-monarch 

 surrounded by its subordinate peaks, the various cols or passes, the magnificent 

 glaciers — over 30 in nmmber, with their lateral and terminal moraines and the 

 streams flowing from them. The higher granitic points are seen flanked by 

 metamorphic rocks, and on all sides are signs of an intense development of 

 plutonic action. Here, says Lyell, we find the most stupendous monuments of 

 mechanical violence, by which strata thousands of feet thick have been bent, 

 folded and overturned. Oolitic and Cretaceous formations have been upheaved 

 to the height of 12,000 feet ; some Eocene strata to elevations of 10,000 feet ; and 

 even deposits of the Miocene era rival in height the loftiest mountains of Great 

 Britain. The Pliocene beds are undistiirbed. An explanatory list of about 200 

 names accompanies the Map, serving as a guide to the topography and geology 

 of this interesting region. Size, 2 ft. 3 in. x 1 ft. 11 in, Price, $15.00.
