Abstract
VALUABLE seismological data have just been received from India (Government of India, Meteorological Department, Seismological Bulletin, July–Sept. 1938). This publication contains readings of the seismograms received at the observatories of Agra, Bombay, Calcutta, Colombo, Dehra Dun, Hyderabad and Kodaikanal, together with non-instrumental reports. Readings from the Indian observatories aro particularly important for the determination of the epicentres of earthquakes removed from North America, Europe and Japan, where the majority of the earth's seismological stations are situated. The non-instrumental reports indicate the occurrence of four local shocks in July, seven in August and six in September, some of which were followed by after-shocks. Silchar, Lahore and Kalat each reported shocks on two separate occasions.
