332 E. 0. Hovey—Eruptions of 190^ of La Soufriere, The area of devastation caused by the eruptions of Pelee from May to July inclusive was less than that due to that of La Soufriere (compare maps, fig. 1, p. 320, and fig. 2, below.

Fig. 2. Map of the Northwestern Part of the Island of Marti- nique, F. W. I. The cross-lined area shows approximately the portion of the island devas- tated by the eruptions of Mt. Pelee, from May 5 to July 6, 1902. The tremendous outbursts of August 25, 28 and 30 and September 3 extended the ruin greatly on the north, east and southeast sides of this area, so that nearlj^ all of the region represented here, with the exception of a few square miles in the southeastern corner, now is included within the zone of destruc- tion. The dot-and-dash lines indicate the principal routes traversed by the author while on and near the volcano. Plotting the area on the Admiralty chart as well as possible, after inspecting all sides of the volcano, and measuring it with a planimeter, I find that thirty-two square miles of Martinique were laid waste by dust, lapilli, stones and " mud." The area is not as symmetrically disposed about the crater as is the case
