"On approaching the place, it appeared Oita ki mount had ben formed of irregular, rough-loo1:- ing depositions, upon the ancient regular strata, whoze origin has been similar. The slope of the latter has calls ti. the mount to spread more on-the east side, and the recent depositions-of the water may be traced till they coincide with them: The perpendicular height of the mount is about seven feet, measured from the highest part of the sur face of the old depositions'.. From these the mat ter composing the mount :Way .be readily -distin gyished, on the left side, where a disruption has taken place. Oa the 4!p of this mount is a bas:li, which we found to extend fifty-six feet in one di rection, and forty-six in andther. " At a quarter before three 'o'clock in the af ternoon, when we arrived on the spot, we foumi the basin full of,hot water, a little of which WitS running over. • Haying.. satisfied my curicAity krt this time, I went with the rest of the party to ex amine some other places whence we sail; vapour ascending. " AboVe the Great Geyser, at a short distance, is a large irregular - opening, the beauties of which it is hardly posSible td describe. The water which filled it. was as clear as crystal, and perfectly still, though nearly.at the boiling point. Through it we saw white incrustation:; forming a varlet 7 of figures and cavities, to a great der, ; and carry ing the eye into a vast and a . k abyz - ,s, over which the incrustations formed a dome of no great thicknesS : a circumstance which, though not of itself agreeable, contributed much to the.effect of this awful scene. • " Having examined several other cavities, I returned to the Geyser in 'order to collect speei= mens of the incrustations on the mount. I selected a fine mass close to the water on the brink or the basin, and had not struck many blows with my hammer, when I heard a sound like the distant discharge of apiece of ordnance, and the ground shook 'under me. The sound was repeated Irregu larly and rapidly ; and 1 had just given the alarm to my companions, who were at a little distance, when the water, after heaving several times, sud idunly rose in a large column, accompanied by clouds of steam, from the middle of the basin, to the height of ten or twelve feet. The column " seemed as if it burst, and sinking don - n, it pro duced a - wave which caused the water to overflow •the basin in considerable quantity. The w:..Ter luiving reached my feet, I was under the necessity of retreating, but 1 kept my ,eye fixed on what wes going on. After the first propulsion, the water was thrown up again to the - height of about fif teen feet. There was now a succession of jets to the number of eighteen, none of which appeared to me to exceed fifty feet in height ; they lasted about five minutes. Though the wind blew strongly, yet the clouds , of vapour were so dense, that after the two first jets, 1 could only see the highest part' of the spray, and some of it that was occasionally thrown out sideways. After thelaSt jet, which was the.most furious, the water sud denly left the basin, and sunk into a pipe iu the centre. The heat of the bottom of the basin soon made it dry, and the wind blew aside the vapour almost immediately after the spouting ceased. We lost no time in entering the basin to examine the pipe, into which the .Vater had sunk about ten feet, and appeared to -be rising slowly. The dia meter of the pipe, or rather pit, is ten feet, but near the top it widens to sixteen feet. The sec tion, which is taken across the longest diameter of the basin, gives a distinct idea of the whole structure of the external part of this wonderful apilaratus. The perpendicular depth of the basin is three feet ; that of the pipe being somewhat more than sixty feet, though there may pe SWIIC inaccessible holloWs -which extend to, d much greai.:;!r depth. " After the water had 'descended into the pipe, there 'was no appearance of any vapour issuing from it till it had reached the mouth, when a little was visible. Even when the basin was f9ll, the quantity of vapour was•far from being so great as might have been expected to proceed f,:oin large a surface of hot water. At five minutes he fc.re six o'clock it boiled a litttec and continuedlto do so at intervals. Elving , thrown a st o n e into the water while it • was perfectly-still, I observed that an ebullition immediately took place till the stone reached the bottom:. I, then requested all the party to provide themselves with•large stones, tend, to throw them into the pipe; on a signal I should give, when the water was still. When the stones were thrown in, a violent ebullition in stantly followed ; and this escape of steam/ on agitation, may serve to assist a theory of the phe noniena. " Following the channel which has been form ed by the water escaping from the great basin during the eruptions, we 'found some beautiful and delicate petrifactions. The leaves of and willow were seen converted into a white stone, arid in the most perfect state of preservation ; every minute fibre being entire. Grasses and rashes were in . the same' state, and also masius. o , * peat. in order to preserve specimens so rare and elegant We brought away largo masses, and broke them up after our return to Britain ; by which means we have 'formed very :rich collections ; though many fine specimens were destroyed in car= rying them to Reikiavik. On the outside of the mount of the Geyser, the depositions, owing to the splashing of the water, are rough, and have been justly compared to the heads of cauliflowers. 'll aro of a yel-
