The Salt Lake of Aalia Paakai.

- Abstract
I HAVE recently made an analysis of the water of the salt lake of Aalia Paakai, near Honolulu, and have thought that the results might be of interest to the readers of NATURE. The lake occupies the crater of an immense tufa cone, whose ejecta cover several square miles, and are especially remarkable for containing numerous aggregations of crystalline grains of pure olivine. The lake is just at mean sea-level, and is scarcely a mile distant from the ocean, but there is evidently no free communication with the waters of the sea.
