JUNCTION OF THE ATLANTIC AND PACIFICOCEANS.
Alexander von Humboldt.
P.S. I am not surprised at the difference between thelevel you found at Turbaco, and my own statement. Tothis, however, I had prudently added “doubtful barome-trical observation.” (See my Recueil d’Observations Astro-nomiques et de Mesures Barometriques, vol. I., p. 299.)The fact that the gas issuing from the little volcanoes atTurbaco is inflammable in its natural state has already beencommunicated by Col, Acosta (Journ., p. 65). It appearsthat the gaseous fluid which issues from the salses is not thesame at all times. I find in my journal, that in 1801, theflame of any burning substance was suddenly extinguishedon being thrown into a bottle containing air from thoselittle volcanoes. Parrot also, in the mud volcanoes in theisland of Taman, found only azote, although the gas emittedwould burn at other times. (See my Relation Historique, vol. XV., c. 29, pp. 367—371.)
