Abstract
IN connection with Dr. J. Stefansson's article in NATURE of October 15, on the ”Recent Earthquakes in Iceland,” it may be of some interest to note that the photo-recording bifilar pendulum, presented to this Observatory by M. d'Abbadie, and placed under my care by Prof. Copeland, exhibits on the dates given by Dr. Stefansson several strongly marked irregularities in the curve, which may possibly have had their origin in the Icelandic disturbances. The following table contains a list of all the pendulum oscillations recorded on the photographs between August 25 and September 6, with the Greenwich Mean Times of their occurrence.
