It may be mentioned that during this eruption the barometer fell from 29*098at 10 to 28-87 at 10 The glow on the steam column over Erebus was ob-served more or less continuously from June until September. Soon after this therewas so much light in the sky at night that the glow, even if it had been there, wouldscarcely have been visible. On November 27, 1908, Mr. James Murray has re-corded another strong eruption of Erebus, of which he gives a sketch in The Heartof the Antarctic, vol. ii. p. 312. Mount Bird Geyser. It is of interest to note that between Erebus and CapeBird, apparently a few miles to the south of the latter extinct volcano, there is anenormous geyser which spouts fitfully, but at long intervals of time. Judging bythe height to which the steam column ascends d
