Interesting recollections. The first known Oblong series were in 1986, not 1988.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>In July 1988 (the only month for which I had detailed info), Oblong's intervals ranged from a short of 15h 54m to 47h 30m; these intervals are known singles from the use of runoff channel markers. The mean interval (which was all-but-meaningless given the range) was 30h 58m.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>During that month, there were six recorded cases where an Oblong eruption was followed by a short-interval follow-up eruption. These six intervals were 2h 14m, 2h 14m [yes, two identical values], 2h 04m, ~2h 05m, and <3h. There was one recorded case of a second follow-up eruption, when the second of those 2h 14m intervals saw a third eruption just 33 minutes later.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>In the text, I wrote: "As first seen during 1986, Oblong may have a series of eruptions rather than a single isolated play." Then, after listing the follow-up eruptions of July 1988, I stated: "These values in each case are entirely in accord with the observations of 1986-87."</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV> <DIV>-----------------</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> <DIV>In a message dated 7/8/2015 11:11:55 P.M.
