Abstract
WE have just received vol. 13, No. 1, items 4260-4378 of the Bibliography of Seismology, published by the Dominion Observatory at Ottawa. In this number there are fifteen collaborators from Europe, North America and New Zealand, notable absences being South America and U.S.S.R., where it is known that seismological work is being done. In addition to the particular studies of individual earthquakes, mathematical seismology and general earth structure, a considerable number of the listed papers deal with microseisms and geophysical prospecting. The latter becomes increasingly important as details are worked out and apparatus becomes more applicable to the particular problems involved, needing to be robust, sensitive, and yet transportable. It is noteworthy that item 4342 is of six patents concerned with seismic prospecting, four being U.S. patents, one Canadian and one U.S.S.R.
