Results of some recent studies concerning the age of volcanoes and the related problems are reviewed. Particulary, the results of the K-Ar dating of the Hawaiian volcanoes by McDougal and the Rb-Sr dating of ultramafic rocks by Roe are discussed in some detail. The method of paleomagnetic correlation of lava flows is also discussed.
