Note 23 — Chapter III · THE HOT SPRINGS OF VANUA LEVU
Reading edition
From what I remember the usual exposure at low-water in 1898 was less than a foot. I have little doubt as to the identity of the locality. 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.
