Royal Society to visit the volcanoes of the Soufriere of St. Vincent and Montagne 
Pelee in Martinique, and Part I. of their Report on the eruptions of the volcanoes 
was published in the Philosophical Transactions for 1903. # 
It was intended that Part II. should include an account of the subsequent changes 
in the deposits of volcanic ejecta observed on that visit, and also on the petrology of 
the specimens collected in 1902. 
In the Spring of 1907, Dr. Anderson revisited the West Indies, but Dr. Flett 
being unavoidably detained in England by his official duties, Dr. Anderson is alone 
responsible for the field observations on the topography and geology, and also on the 
return of vegetation in the earlier portion of this Part II., while Dr. Flett contributes 
the petrology. (See the following paper.) 
By the kind permission of Sir Daniel Morris, K.C.M.G., Mr. W. N. Sands, of the 
Botanical Gardens, St. Vincent, was able to accompany Dr. Anderson to the Soufriere, 
and make a collection of the flora which is gradually reappearing on the devastated 
area. These plants have been identified by him, and also, where necessary, hy
