is from 20° to 28°(C). There ere short deep explosions in the crater and 
the rocks are ejected without vapors* Only at a distance does one dis- 
tinguish a white curtain* The lava vent at the hornitos ceases its ac- 
tivity at the same time as the crater* 
16 - Another hoar-frost at dawn in the region* The crater with little 
force today; the vapor does not extend more than 40 kilometers to the east* 
At 8 AM; a column begins to rise vertically to a height of 600 meters, 
from which hang streamers of falling ash that falls from the flank of the 
cone and to a distance of 2 kilometers away* This is the coarser material* 
The medium and finer extends for 30-40 kilometers to the east, and one can 
observe and determine the quantity on any pavement in Uruapan. In the 
afternoon the curtain of vapors change toward the south and west* The lava 
flow that came from its vent at the hornitos and followed the base of the 
cone has joined with that which flowed around Zapicho in September of last year* 
17 - After some gases which were emitted with thunder and explosions of rock, 
silent yellov; vapors are discharged today* Only the center of the column 
has force and carries sand and for this reason is black* They are the only 
clouds, for there are no others outside the volcano* The temperature is 
more than 28°(C)* Some earthquakes that some persons felt yesterday sig- 
nify something* At 3 in the afternoon the column was interrupted and 
there remained in the crater a thin w r isp of smoke with very deep noises* 
In the night the crater continues to throw out scoria, without vapors and 
with regular noises and escape of gas.

16 - The Ahuan vent entered in renewed activity, in the form of a small 
Ahuan (tarascan = rabbit) is the name that was given to the lava vent 
immediately opposite Zapicho, on the south flank of the crater* It re- 
ceived its name from, a huge rock, shaped like a sitting rabbit that stood 
near the vent
