Report on the eruptions of the soufrière in St. Vincent in 1902, and on a visit to Montagne Pelée in Martinique. Part II.—The changes in the districts and the subsequent history of the volcanoes

This Report, and the accompanying Report by Dr. Flett on The Petrology of the Ejected Materials, form the sequel to the Report by Drs. Tempest Anderson and J. S. Flett on “The Eruptions of the Soufriere in St. Vincent in 1902, and on a Visit to Montagne Pelee in Martinique, Part I.” At the time when that Report was published it was contemplated that an account should be given later on of the subsequent changes in the deposits of volcanic ejecta, and also on the petrology of the specimens collected in 1902. In the spring of 1907 I visited the West Indies, but Dr. Flett was unfortunately detained in England by his official duties. I am therefore responsible for the field observations on the topography and geology, and on the return of vegetation, while Dr. Flett’s Report deals with the petrology of the ejected materials.
