Abstract
THE report of the Liverpool Observatory and Tidal Institute for 1933 records several interesting matters concerning tidal records. Experiments were made with seismographs with the view of recording the tilting of the earth due to tidal loads as well as to thermal effects. An instability in the records was traced to distortion in the structure supporting the instruments. This was overcome and satisfactory records were obtained. The work is being continued with improvements in the instruments. Another important piece of work concerns a new method of prediction of mixed diurnal and semi-diurnal tides. Work was also done on the tidal bore of the Trent and on the tides of the Bay of Biscay. Tidal predictions have been worked out for various authorities.
