Abstract
AFTER carefully reading through the two extracts from Sidonius and Avitus contained in your number of May 30, my impression was that notwithstanding some manifest improbabilities, the conclusion was inevitable that earthquakes and other volcanic phenomena had actually been witnessed at Vienne. However, after examining all the facts of the case, a theory has occurred to me by which both accounts may be consistently explained without any such phenomena having occurred there at all. It would only remain to be shown that my supposed facts are not contradicted by evidence actually on record.
