In Tropical Lands: Recent Travels to the Sources of the Amazon, the West Indian Islands, and Ceylon. Aberdeen: Wyllie, 1895, 57. At Huariaca, Peru: "Before leaving this interesting spot we were shown a curious warm spring of very clear water which runs into a natural stone bath, daily used by the family. The temperature of the water, which has a somewhat sulphureous taste, is 90°, while the air is about 60°. But the strangest spot in these grounds was pointed out to us in the centre of a paddock, where there is a small cavity, not more than three feet deep, which at times emits such a poisonous gas that, report says, no bird or beast can live near it. Rats running across this hole are said to drop down dead; the snake that pursues them to share the same fate; while birds flying above it drop down and fly no more. I would not have given much heed to this story, but there lay the birds, snakes, and rats where they fell; and although on stepping into the cavity I could perceive nothing unusual in the exhalation, the fact remains that the place seems well known in the district as fatal to birds, vermin, and all creeping creatures who come across it."]

News, 21-6. / From the Caucasian city of Baku, Mr. Krassilrukoff, a noted sportsman, and two companions, had gone upon a hunting trip to Sand Island, in the Caspian Sea. Nothing heard of them, and there was an investigation. The searchers found the bodies of the three men, lying in composed positions that indicated no struggle; all their possessions with them, except their weapons. "There was no sign of any struggle, no marks or bruises on the flesh, no disagreement of the hunting costumes. Nearby was a mound or new-dug earth. In the center of it was a white stone of a kind unknown in the region. There were upon it facets upon one of which was cut a Greek cross. An autopsy no trace of poison was found. The doctors, though they would not commit themselves to any explanation, thought that the men might have been stifled in some way. [SF-VI: 1400.1 to 1400.5.
