Abstract
MR. HAROLD DIXON'S letter in NATURE of Sept 18 (p. 491) is exceedingly interesting to seismologists. On two occasions he was able to make the only kind of observation which is of any value unless seismographs are actually employed; he has been able to make these in England, where earthquakes are rare, and I know of no record of such definite information being given by any of the trained observers in Japan, where earthquakes are so numerous. It requires great coolness to make such observations at such a time.
