AB  - Emerson describes Kilauea caldera between March 24 and April 14, 1886, following the subsidence of March 1886; the paper is accompanied by a map (plate 1). Halemaumau was a great empty pit, 900 ft below Volcano House, with a smaller pit in its center. Before the collapse, lava in Halemaumau rose 1 ft per day, decreasing to .4 ft per day. This paper is followed by van Slyke, 1887.
