Coan TM. 1910. Eruptions of Kilauea [in July 1855]. Science. 32(829):716-718
An account of activity in Kilauea caldera on July 3-4, 1855. Action was more violent than it had been for several years. The chief activity was at Halemaumau, measured at 400 ft long by 250 ft wide by 50 ft deep, where a lava lake occupied the summit of a broad domical mount of congealed lava. At least one other smaller lake was present, farther north. Coan also briefly describes Sulphur Bank.
