1053 — gazing in the direction of the menacing' volcano. The huge layers of ashes and •lava 120 feet high which were precipated bn Long Island and Verlaten Island by the eruption of 1883, are particularly interesting ; under these layers the carbonised trunks of trees of the buried forests are still visible, while higher up new forests already cover the island — a rare example of a complete new formation of the natural world on the same |spot of great interest to the biologist. A picture of the Expedition Camp is shown and a series of pictures follow, reproducing the eruption from its first phases to the full activity of the newly formed island crater (Avak Krakatau, Son of the Krakatau), resembling that of Santorin. There is a certain regularity about the eruptions ; at first, the erases raise the water like a dome for the fraction of a second, then a high jet of water, steam, ashes and concrete material is projected from the middle of the dome, glowing volcanic bombs and lapillae are forced high into the air and fall back into the water, which evaporates at their contact, forming huge white clouds. After the small island crater has risen from the sea the spectacle becomes still more magnificent. The pictures were taken partly from Long Island, partly from the airplane and the motorboat, some of them at great risk and in the immediate vicinity of the phenomenon. This well composed film holds the attention of the spectator and awakens in him the desire to know more about the subject. Some of the pictures will also be of interest to the specialist.
