Abstract

IN the spring of last year, accompanied by my friend Signor Gaetano Platania, I passed a month in a geological ramble through the Æolian Islands. In consequence of such a short stay, no observations were carried out with sufficient detail and accuracy to be worthy of publishing, especially after the many important observations that we already possess from Spallanzani to Judd. Unfortunately, the isolated position of the group, and the absence of any sufficiently qualified local observer, render it impossible to have continuous records of the vulcanological and seismological phenomena of the islands; in fact, what little is known has come from the few scientific travellers who from time to time visit this out-of-the-way locality. It is for that reason, therefore, that the following notes have been written, in the hope of saving a few of the links in the broken chain of the record of the two active volcanoes of Stromboli and Vulcano.
