Abstract
IN the Solomons Region of the S.W. Pacific, the deep focus earthquakes which have been detected since 1912 have been concentrated at the north-western end of the Bougainville–New Ireland, and in a region to the south-east of the Santa Cruz Group. Recent research has established a prima facie case for a systematic time–space correlation between deep foci and sequences of shallower seismic events similar to that found in the New Hebrides by Dr. Claude Blot in the course of several years of detailed investigation of thousands of seismic and volcanic events.
