Sakura-jima (Kagomshima Bay) 3743. An island-volcano, with several parasitic cones (extinct), on the N. and E. sides. At the summit are two deep craters, the southern of which emits steam. Grass grows, however, to the very edges of the crater. The island is celebrated for thermal springs, oranges and _daikon_ (radishes), which sometimes grow to a weight of 70 lb. Kiri-shima (Kagoshima Bay) 5538. A volcanic range of which Takachiho, the only active cone, forms the terminal (S.E.) peak. The crater, situated on the S.W. side of the volcano, lies some 500 ft. below the summit-peak. It is of remarkably regular formation, and the floor is pierced by a number of huge fumaroles whence issue immense volumes of steam. Izuno Oshima (Vries Island) (Izu) 2461. The volcano on this island is called Mihara. There is a double crater, the outer being almost complete. The diameter of the outer crater, within which rises the modern cone to a height of 500 ft. above the surrounding floor, is about 2 m.; while the present crater, which displays incessant activity, has itself a diameter of ¼ m. Asama (Ise) 8136. The largest active volcano in Japan. An eruption in 1783, with a deluge of lava, destroyed an extensive forest and overwhelmed several villages. The present cone is the third, portions of two concentric crater rings remaining. The present crater is remarkable for the absolute perpendicularity of its walls, and has an immense depth--from 600 to 800 ft. It is circular, ¾ m. in circumference, with sides honeycombed and burned to a red hue. Some of the above information is based upon Mr. C. E. Bruce-Mitford's valuable work (see _Geog. Jour._, Feb. 1908, &c.).
