Abstract
ALL those who have used the late Prof. Turner's catalogue of earthquakes for the years 1918-24 will welcome its continuation for the next six years by Miss E. F. Bellamy “as a contribution to earthquake science and as a personal memorial of respect to Prof. H. H. Turner”. The catalogue (British Association, Burlington House, London, W.I. 2s.), as before, is compiled from the International Seismological Summary, and gives for each earthquake the time at the origin, the position of the epicentre, the number of stations providing records of the earthquake, the last occasion on which the same focus was in action, and the number of “minor entries” or records that are not sufficient to determine the position of the epicentre. The appendix contains notes on earthquakes with unusually deep foci, etc. The number of new epicentres determined is 1,052, raising the total number of known epicentres to 6,215. A remarkable feature of the catalogue is that, with its thousands of entries, it yet seems unusually free from errors, printer's or otherwise, only one so far having been discovered (Nov. 31 for Nov. 13, p. 12).
