On the Mud Volcanoes Island of Trinidad
In 1916 Dr. Feduvsion and a colonial officer surveyed a district near Pitch Lake Trinidad. They noted two semi volcanic mounts in a narrow tongue into a mouth of the Oronoke on the Malad. Eruptions were cold but produced argillaceous earth mixed with salt water and occasional pyritic fragments. Trees nearby resembled lagoon vegetation. Air, water, and soil analysis were not performed due to duties.
