Abstract
IN vol. xxxiv. p. 570 of NATURE you kindly allowed me to bring forward some facts in support of a view advanced by me and mentioned in your review of the “Catalogue of European Earthquakes” which appeared in your number of September 16, 1886 (vol. xxxiv. p. 465), that earthquake localities lie on or are connected by great circles representing main lines of fissuring and therefore coast-line directions. Since then I have observed and noted two or three other remarkable cases, but the earthquakes recently reported (May 30) from Mexico, and June 9 from Turkestan, are so interesting in this respect that I venture to ask you for permission to point out how a great circle connects them.
