Abstract
AN earthquake of considerable severity was registered at both the Riverview and Perth Observatories in Australia on April 9 early in the day. At Perth the seismograph pendulum boom swung five inches, and at Riverview the seismograph showed earthquake waves passing the observatory for four hours. It was tentatively suggested that the earthquake might have had its epicentre under the sea south-west of Luzon in the Philippines.
