. A naturalist in the Bahamas:. Natural history. THE ERUPTION OF KRAKATOA IN 1883 227 islands of Krakatoa, Verlaten, Lang, and Polish Hat are but the re- mains of the " basal wreck" of a volcano that rose 10, 000 feet above the sea, with a circumference, at its base, of twenty-five miles. At some unknown period an eruption took place that removed the central mass of this volcanic mountain, leaving a crater, about four miles in cir- cumference, the highest points of which were but a few hundred feet above the surrounding water. After a series of quiet eruptions that gradually filled up this old crater, a lateral or parasitic outburst seems to have taken place at its. m Fig. 1. — Map of the Islands of the Krakatoa Group before the Eruption of August, 1883. From the "English Krakatoa." southern edge. This activity must have continued for a long time, as it resulted in the formation of a cone about 2600 feet in height. It is this cone "that was called by the natives the peak of Rakata, which, in the old Kawi or Javanese language, signifies a crab. The name, under the Dutch form, Krakatau, the Portuguese Krakatao, and the English Krakatoa, has been extended to the whole island upon which the striking cinder cone stood." From the meager accounts that have been preserved, it seems that in May, i68c, an eruption occurred at some point on the island, and it is probable that Perboewatan was in activity, as fresh lava streams have been seen on its sides by several later authors. The relative positions of Krakatoa and the adjacent islands are shown in Figure i. The broken line indicates the form of the old crater, of which the islands of Verlaten and Lang are portions rising above the.
