Abstract
IN August 1948, a drilling programme was carried out at Resolute, N.W.T., Canada, lat. 74° 41′ N., long. 94° 54′ W., to locate a suitable site for a future seismological station. When this had been completed, a series of shallow holes was drilled about 100 ft. north of the weather station operations building, and ceramic resistance thermometers were inserted at depths of 8, 18, 39 and 60 in.
