SECT. 1] SEISMIC REFRACTION AND REFLECTION MEASUREMENTS 19 



surface points. In such cases, it is possible to compute distance from the 

 reflected arrivals, but the process is time-consuming and less accurate.

References 



In preparing this contribution, reference was made to the work of such a large number of 

 authors that the text would have been unduly cumbersome had each been listed in the 

 usual fashion. Reference has been made in a few cases to call attention to specific points 

 concerning theory or technique. The following is a list of contributions in which most of 

 the basic theory was developed or summarized.
