Abstract
IN a recent issue of NATTTBE (135, 1070; June 29), a brief notice was given of the “Bibliography of Seismology” for the year 1934 prepared by the Dominion Observatory of Ottawa. In that note, it was pointed out that Great Britain is not repre sented in the list of collaborators. We have received a letter from Dr. F. J. W. Whipple, Kew Observatory, in which he suggests that this omission may be taken to imply that the works of British seismologists are ignored in the Bibliography, and he states that in the last quarterly number there are seven references to such publications. On the other hand, in the United States, there are eleven collaborators, who refer to forty memoirs written in that country. The test as regards completeness is not, however, the actual number of memoirs noticed, so much as the percentage of the total number published that are entered in the Bibliography, and this percentage obviously depends on the number of contributors. In the absence of collaborators, memoirs are, of course, likely to be overlooked.
