ffitchcock, about 75 feet an hour. In a communication to the Commercial Advertiser for Novem- ber 20th,* the formation of the aa or clinker fields is described as follows by Judge Hitchcock. '' The whole broad front of the then sluggish stream was a mass of solidified lava twelve to thirty feet m height, moving slowly along by breaking and bearing onward the crusted covering ; along the whole line of its advance it was one crash of rolling, sliding, tumbling, red-hot rock, no liquid rock being ...in sight ; there were no explosions, but a tremendous roaring, like ten thousand blast fumances all at work at once. The rough blocks lie piled together in the wildest confusion, many as large as ordinary houses. They [clinker-fields] form only when the movement is slow." 1882. — In this year (the month not stated) Capt. 0. E. But- ton made his visit to the summit (Report, page 139). He found ''no volcanic action whatever," "not even a wisp of steam issuing from any point ;" and he makes no mention of any cinder cone at the bottom.
