Abstract
WE have recently received vol. 12, No. 19 (July, August and September 1938) of the Bibliography of Seismology, published by the Dominion Observatory at Ottawa. This time 117 works are listed and there are twenty-six collaborators representing 12 countries. It contains references among many notable works to Dr. C. Davison's “Studies on the Periodicity of Earthquakes” and works by Gutenberg and Richter, Lynch, and Bullen all bearing on the problem of tho earth's central core. Particularly interesting is the notice of the article on Frank Lloyd Wright from Readers Digest, directing attention to the importance of the design of buildings in earthquake-troubled countries. Wright designed the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo to withstand earthquake shocks, and it has done so.
