Abstract
DURING January 1943 ten earthquakes were registered by the seismographs at Toledo, Spain (Registro de las observaciones provisionales eorre-spondientes al mes de Enero de 1943. Institute Geografico. Observatorio Geofisico de Toledo). Eight of these shocks were distant, some being rather feebly recorded and somewhat obscured by microseisms. The shock of January 7 recorded at llh. 19m. Ols., from an epicentre some 4,445 km. distant, had a probable depth of focus of 100 km. Two shocks were somewhat local. The first, on January 9, began recording with iPz at 22h. 00m. 19s. from an epicentre some 318 km. distant and a depth of focus of 25 km. The epicentre was most likely in the Sierra Tejada. The second, on January 21, began recording with ePz at 14h. 47m. 17s. from an epicentre some 344 km. distant from Toledo and a depth cf focus of 40 km. The epicentre was probably in the neighbourhood of Novelda-Monforte.
