82 New Volcanic Island in the Pacific Ocean. [Jan. 21, 



northern extremity of half a mile in extent, with one also to the south- 



ward of 1| miles (approx.). . 



I have the honour to enclose a photograph which I took at the time 

 the island bore west 1J miles, and which although very inferior and 

 taken under circumstances of considerable difficulty, will give some 

 idea of the appearance of the eruption.
