I.—The Natural History of Lavas as Illustrated by the Materials ejected from Krakatoa

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

Shoetly after the great volcanic eruption at Krakatoa,inAugust, 1883, the Royal Society appointed a Committee to collect and sift the records of that remarkable outbreak and to study, the effects which appear to have resulted from it. The investigation of the volcanic phenomena and of the materials ejected from the volcano having been committed to me, I have been led to some conclusions of considerable geological interest, the full discussion of which could scarcely find a place in the report which has been published by the Committee. It is these general results which I propose to discuss in the following communication.
