Abstract
THE third meeting of the permanent committee of the International Association of Seismology was held at Zermatt on Monday, August 30, and the three succeeding days. Out of twenty-two States which now belong to the association, seventeen were represented. In his presidential address, Prof. Schuster directed attention to the importance of determining the movement of the soil in a seismic disturbance, and laid stress on the conditions which seismographs must satisfy, in order that the components of the displacements should be capable of being deduced from the records obtained.
