Abstract

IN NATURE (vol. xli. p. 276, and in vol. xlvi. p. 611) I gave notes on an island in the Tonga Group, called Falcon Island, which had risen from the sea as the result of an eruption in 1885, when it was about two miles long and 250 feet high, and which had in 1892 been greatly diminished in size by the wash of the sea.
