Extract

Many travellers have spoken of the numerous traces of volcanic acrion to be found in the neighbourhood of the Dead Sea; but the author states that he invariably found the ‘lava-currents ’ of M. de Saulcy to be nothing more than deposits of silica and nodules of oxide of iron, while his ‘extinct craters’ proved to be the flat summits of limestone-hills.
