Page 624 - The process was as follows : an ovoid mass of lava, still in communication with its. source of supply and having its surface, though still red-hot, reduced to a pasty condition by cooling, would be seen to swell, or crack, into a sort of bud with a narrow neck like a prickly pear on a cactus, and this would rapidly increase in heat, mobility, and size, till it either became a lobe as large as a sack or pillow, like the others, or perhaps...

Anderson ("The Volcano of Matavanu in Savai'i", Journal of the Geological Society, Vol. 66, pp. 621-39, 1910) makes mention of the manner in which lava-tunnels are formed. Referring to the eruption of Matavanu, Savai'i, in the year 1906, he states: "The large, fresh lava-streams soon got crusted over on the surface with solidified lava, and the liquid lava continued to flow underneath. Even at the crater it seldom flowed over the lip, but generally...
Page lxv - Layer of areolar tissue, named " subcutaneous," which, excepting in a few parts, contains fat, and has therefore been called also the " panniculus adiposus." The connection is in many parts loose and movable, in others close and firm, as in the palmar surface of the hand and the sole of the foot, where the skin is fixed to the subjacent fascia by numerous stout fibrous bands, the space between being filled with a firm padding of fat. In some regions of the body the skin is moved by...
