Abstract
PROF. JOHN PHILLIPS, in his admirable monograph on Vesuvius, has given a history of the mountain from the earliest times to the end of the year 1868. Palmieri, in his detailed description of the eruption of 1871–72, continued the history to the end of the latter year; and in NATURE, vol. xix. p. 343, the present writer has described the comparatively uneventful life of the volcano from 1873 to the end of 1878. The past year, although unmarked by any special and paroxysmal disturbance, has furnished facts not unworthy of record.
