Abstract
This report deals with the volcanic activity at Tuluman Volcano in St .Andrew Strait, 25 miles south of Lorengau in the Admiralty group. In the first of the three papers, which constitute the report, a description is given of the activity from June 1953, when the eruption began, to the end of July-1954. Part II describes further submarine activity in October and November 1954, and the condition of the active centres at that time. In Part III a more detailed description of the eruptive activity is given and the eruption and the associated phenomena are reviewed at some length. Volcanic activity in the St. Andrew Strait has originated from at least five, separate centres, from one of which another cone has been formed by a branching-off from the main conduit. As a result, three islands, two of which have been subsequently joined, have been built up above sea level. The name Tuluman Islands is proposed for these islands, and individual cones are numbered according to the chronological order in which they have been formed. The geographical position of the Tuluman Islands and their topography are also discussed.
