RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Kilauea after the eruption of March, 1886.II. Communication to Prof. W.D. Aleander. Surveyor general of the Hawaian Islands: Observations on Kilauea, in July, 1886 JF American Journal of Science JO Am J Sci FD American Journal of Science SP 95 OP 98 DO 10.2475/ajs.s3-33.194.95 VO s3-33 IS 194 A1 Van Slyke, L. L. YR 1887 UL http://www.ajsonline.org/content/s3-33/194/95.abstract AB Van Slyke describes changes in Kilauea caldera following the visit of J.S. Emerson (1887). Where there had formerly been a deep, conical central pit in Halemaumau, the bottom had become bodily elevated to form a large, cone-like heap of loose lava blocks. Molten lava was visible in small wells and in a small lake within Halemaumau pit. This reference follows Emerson, 1887, and is followed by Dodge, 1887.
