Extract

About nine years ago I contributed to the pages of this Magazine, an account of the two above-named volcanoes, which was founded on observations made during brief visits by myself in the year 1873, and on the published records of visits by previous observers. My present object is to draw attention to information which has since then been acquired regarding them.

page 406 note 1 There is a very circumstantial account of a violent volcanic eruption in the Bay of Bengal, by which an island a league in length is said to have been formed in the sea three leagues from Pondicherry, in the year 1757. As in the case of Graham's Island, in the Mediterranean, the Island subsequently disappeared, having been eroded by the sea.
