Abstract
Volume 13, No. 19 of the Bibliography of Seismology, published by Dr. Ernest A. Hodgson from the Dominion Observatory, Ottawa, Canada, covers items 6,047–6,142 and carries the bibliography to the end of June 1946. This valuable publication, which deals with pure and applied seismology and subjects throwing light on them, covers in this issue world books, papers and works published on the Continent of Europe during the years 1939–45, together with a small list of patents. There are fourteen items from Holland including an obituary notice of Dr. G. Van Dijk (1877–1940), L. P. G. Koning on deep focus earthquakes (items 6,094–95), F. H. van Rummelen and S. W. Visser on Dutch earthquakes, and a text-book on seismology by S. W. Visser (items 6,135, 6,137–38). The items from Finland, five in number, consist of four papers on isostasy and one on pure seismology, namely, Eijo Vesanen's “Ueber die typenanalytische Auswertung der Seismogramme”(Ann. Acad. Sci. Fennicce, A, 3, Geologica-Geo-graphica, 5, pp. 244. Helsinki, 1942). Three items from France include obituary notices of Dr. Edmund Rothé and Dan Barfod La Cour and an article on French geophysics during the War. Item 6,107 contains references to a most important topical seismo-logical question, namely, the use of the seismograph as a meteorological instrument; by means of micro-seisms tropical storm and cyclone centres at sea can be located and tracked. There is a list of the seismo-logical items published in Nature.
