[21]. Amongst the other descriptions of these springs I may refer to that of Kleinschmidt in the work quoted on p. 22, to that of Miss Gordon Cumming in At Home in Fiji, to that of Horne in his Year in Fiji, &c. They are sketched in the descriptions of Kleinschmidt, Miss Cumming, and Commodore Wilkes. The analyses are given on a later page together with the references.

This rock is one of the “sights” of the place at the present time. It would be interesting for a resident to compare carefully its present condition with that as described by Wilkes. Dana in the work quoted on p. 10, refers to this rock as a knoll of basalt; but he never visited the locality and only obtained his account from the officers of Wilkes.
