48 Kilauea and Mauna Loa, cinders and red-hot lava. Six small lakes were boiling violently, becoming crusted over, cracking, and again boiling. In the Halemaumaii was an island which the lava was not seen to overflow; the first notice of a phenomenon observed several times since. The remarkable oscillations in the heat, remarked by all visitors, seem to have taken place on this occasion with more than the usual rapidity. As they were looking at one of the lakes which was boiling violently, they say: **After a few minutes the violent struggle ceased, and the whole surface of the lake was changed to a black mass of

As they left the crater, nearly a qtiarter of the floor gave way, forming a vast pool of liquid lava.^^ Count Strzelecki was at Kilauea in the late summer of the same year and published what seem to be his undigested observations in the Hawaiian Spectator (vol. i, p. 435)^^ but revised them in his work on New Zealand and Van Diemen's Land in 1845. He made ^^Silliman's Journal (N. S.)^ vol. xl, p. 117 (1841). The plate accompanying their description was redrawn from their sketches by a New Haven artist, and it is given in outline in Dana, Characteristics of Volcanoes, p. 60. The float- ing island '*heaved up and down in the liquid mass," and "rocked like a ship on a stormy sea." '^Reprinted in Thrum's Annual. (4^^)
