In Fig. 235 the cone to the left shows the dip of the layers of tufe inward toward the center of the crater and outward, down the outer slopes. Driblets pile up the fantastic driblet-cone, which has no crater but simply a hole for the projection of lava in small liquid masses, drops, drib- lets, or worm-like streamlets. 284. 235.

D. Still another kind of cone, occasionally observed in Kilauea, is the debris- oone, made at times in Halemaumau after a discharge out of the masses or fragments that fall into the basin from its steep sides.

At an eruption, the discharged lava : (1) may flow down the mountain in great streams from the crater at the summit ; or (2) may escape to the surface through breaks or fissures made by the eruptive forces in the moun- tain's sides, and thence spread away in streams ; or (3) it may flow off through fissures into underground cavities between the old lava streams of the mountain, or it may only fill the opened fissures.
