On the fides of the crater, efpeclally towards the lower part, are feveral vents or chimneys, from which fteam and fulphureous acid are continually exhaling: the heat of thcfe vapours is fo great as to raife the thermometer from nine 10 thirty-four degrees. The infide of the crater is covered with yellow, red, and white clay, and blocks of partly decompofed lava, under which are found beautiful cryftals of fulphur; tlieir figure is that of a rhom- toidal odaedron, fbme of which are nearly an inch â¢.: high,.
