Abstract
THE publication of an abstract of twenty years' record of earthquakes in Italy gives an opportunity for studying the effect of the gravitational attraction of the sun; the period is so nearly coincident with the lunar cycle of nineteen years, that the effect of the moon may be regarded as eliminated, the record is of exceptional continuity and completeness, and the number of observations is large enough to allow of the extraction of groups sufficiently numerous to give good averages.
