It is certain that some of the springs there reach boiling temperatures, with 96 deg-C listed for one pool and 95 deg-C for two or three others.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Jeff listed two spring names, and his Toad Eruption Spring might be the same as my earlier Toad Mouth. Other names, for the record: Big Boiler, Small Boiler, Beautiful Woman Pool, Glass Spring, Pearl Spring, Pregnancy Spring (or Well), Drumbeat Spring, Lion Head, and Immortal Bathing Pool. For all this, though, only one spring, Dagunguo (not translated), was specifically described as undergoing _intermittent_ eruptions.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV></BODY></HTML>
