Text Appearing Before Image:
d, asin the Nomuka group and at Eua, it is seen that they consist oflayers of volcanic materials laid out under water. The j)rocess nowgoing on at Ealcon Island illustrates the way in which a volcanicmound, composed of soft material and originally standing above thesea, may be reduced to a submarine bank, and so form a basis forcoral growth. In consideration of these facts it appears probable that the atoll-shaped islands of the southern part of the Tonga Group have grownon banks of volcanic material laid out in shallow w^ater, and thatthere is no necessity to call in the hypothesis of subsidence toaccount for their formation. EXPLANATION OF PLATE XXIII. Map of the Tonga Islands. The map of Eua is prepared partly from thesurvey of H.M.S. Egeria (1888). The outlines of the patches of volcanicformation in the central part of the island are not accurately drawn. * Coral Eeefs, 3rd ed. pp. 177, 186, 188. t * Origin of Coral Reefs and Islands, Am. Journ. Sci. ser. 3, vol. xxx. (1885)p. 99.
