The Eruptions of Vulcano (August 3, 1888, to March 22, 1890).¹

Abstract

THERE are some 180 (nominally 212) pages and 11 plates. Of these latter 4 are reproductions of Silvestri's beautiful whole-plate photographs [one of Vulcano at rest (with Vulcanello), and the other three instantaneous views of the volcano in eruption]. A fifth reproduces, half-size, two of Dr. Johnston-Lavis's instantaneous views of eruptions taken from the crater's edge.² Two other plates give 14 excellent photographs of the “bombs,” and of the rest two are sketches of Stromboli crater, one petrographical, and the last the map of Vulcano (1/50,000).
