5. Greece, 
D. Eginitis has published a catalogue of local disturbances, 1893-1898. 
6. Holland. 
The Magnetic and Meteorological Department in Batavia observes and 
publishes records relating to earthquakes of local and distant origin. 
Supported by the State. 
7. Hungary. 
Earthquakes are observed by a system similar to that adopted by 
Austria, At Buda Pest, Agram, O’Gylla, Fiume, and at a few other 
stations, instruments have been installed to record earthquakes with a 
distant origin. 
8. Italy. 
In Italy there are about 800 stations at which earthquakes are 
observed. Out of these there are fifteen first-class observatories provided 
with apparatus to record teleseisms and local shocks, and 150 second-class 
stations using seismoscopes. Since 1879 these have been under State 
control. The registers are published by the Central Meteorological Office 
in Rome, and to these are added corresponding records from nearly all 
the teleseismic stations of the world. This catalogue therefore practically 
contains the information relating to teleseisms contuined in registers 
issued by all other nations. A few observatories, as, for example, those 
at Padua and Florence, also publish their records separately. 
9, Japan. 
Japan has at least five stations for teleseismic observations, and about 
eighty provided with instruments for recording local shocks. Records of 
these latter are made at over 1,000 centres, and as from 1,000 to 2,000 
earthquakes are recorded annually, and as each of these may be noted at 
many centres, the number of manuscripts accumulating at the Central 
Observatory in Tokyo is very great. Accounts of the more important 
shocks are published in the ‘ Official Gazette ’ and in other newspapers. 
A catalogue of 8,331 shocks (1885-1892) was published in the 
‘Seismological Journal,’ and a similar but more extensive catalogue is now 
in progress. 
The Earthquake Investigation Committee issue many publications 
relating to seismology, while papers on the same appear in the Tokyo 
Physico-Mathematical Society. Very many of the publications are in 
Chinese characters. At the University there is a Professor and an 
Assistant Professor of Seismology. 
Practically all work is supported by the Government, the Investigation 
Committee alone receiving 1,000. to 5,000/. a year. 
10. Norway. 
Tn connection with the Museum in Bergen Dr. Kolderup is issuing 
an annual list of earthquakes felt in Norway. 
ll. Roumania. 
The ‘ Institut Météorologique de Roumanie’ issues occasional sheets 
relating to teleseisms.
