Excerpt from Bibliography of the Geology and Eruptive Phenomena of the More Important Volcanoes of Southern Italy By the time that the Geologists' Association paid its visit to Southern Italy in the months of September and October, 1889, the bibliography had grown to almost twice the size, and Lavis happily seized upon the occasion to publish it in 1891 as an appendix to the account of the excursion, which was reprinted from the Proceedings of the Association. The whole thus formed a valuable manual of information on the Volcanoes of Southern Italy. From that time onwards no opportunity was lost for working at this bibliography and endeavouring to render it as complete as such a work can ever be. When the war broke out, depriving him at once of his practice, he had determined to employ his enforced leisure from professional duties till happier times should return in systematically revising and augmenting the whole bibliography and in ransacking every available source with this object in view. His tragic death cut this project short, and all the loving labour of years of patient research seemed likely to be thrown away had not his family most felicitously conceived the idea of completing the work so far as might be possible and publishing it as a worthy offering to his memory.
