Kai Valley, as is shown in the [illegible] [52 tration Plate 00] [ill. XXII, 75 B+A] That this form of drainage character- ized the removal of the ash deposit- ed by previous eruptions is well shown on the north side of the Inasei Valley (Plate 00) [ill. XXII, 82 B] Northward from Laikai Valley, the devastation which was wrought by the outbursts of 1902+1903 was called by showers of ash drifted over the northwestern section of the island by the trade winds. Vegetation was destroyed as far as Balein Point {cf. 1902 Note H}, but the old soil was not injured, hence the restoration of plant life to its former luxuriance has been complete. The caps of fine dust on boulders along shore [the] north of Mone Rande has been described.
