Abstract
SUDDENLY, and without any premonitory tremors, in the early morning of Wednesday, July 20, a very large area centred in northern Attica, Greece, was disturbed by a violent earthquake (see NATURE, July 30, p. 202), which did much damage to property and caused the deaths of twenty people and injuries to a hundred others. It is now possible to add some further details of this shock from a preliminary report prepared by Prof. N. Critikos, of the University of Athens, though the final conclusions will not be available for some time.
