CATALOGUE OF DESTRUCTIVE EARTHQUAKES 658 



whom we find Strabo, Herodotus, Livy, Thucydides, Justinus, 

 Orosius, Julius Obsequens, Tacitus, Seneca, Theophanes and 

 many others. Humboldt and V. Hoff are quoted lor early and 

 for late dates. Dom. Bouquet is often quoted. We also find 

 references to Matthew of Westminster, the Edinburgh En- 

 cyclopaedia, Bertrand, and Merian both in the " Collection 

 Academique," The Gentleman's Magazine, Philosophical Trans- 

 actions of the Royal Society, Silliman's Journal, various books 

 of travel, the Gazette de France, Poggendorff's Annalen, Journ. 

 des Debates, &c. At the end of his Report in 1858 he gives a 

 catalogue of works covering 16 pp. 



Catalogues and Memoirs by M. Ale.iis Perrey. — A list of 

 Memoirs by M. Perrey, which are 59 in number, is given by 

 Mallet in his British Association Report for 1858. In Perrey's 

 bibliographical catalogues, published in 1855-56, there are 

 references to 1837 different works on seismology. His earth- 

 quake catalogues published in " Memoires de l'Academie de 

 Dijon " and in " Bulletins de l'Academie Royale de Bruxelles " 

 contain records from 1842-64. They are a continuation of the 

 work of Mallet. 



Catalogues of Dr. C. W. Fuchs. — These catalogues appear 

 in the " Neues Jahrbuch fur Mineralogie, Geologie und 

 Pakeontologie " vols. 1866 to 1872. These refer to earth- 

 quakes of 1865-1871 inclusive. In the Jahrbuch der K. K. 

 Geologischen Reichenstalt 1873 Band XXIII to 1877 Band 

 XXVII we find registers of earthquakes for 1872 to 1876. 

 Catalogues by Fuchs also appear in the " Mineralogische und 

 Petrographische Mittheilungen," Neue Folge Band I to VIII, 

 they contain references to earthquakes 1877 Jan. 2, to Nov. 6, 

 1884. This work, with the exception of the years between 1870 

 and 1877, is a continuation of Perrey's work, but it is by no 

 means so complete. 



There are many catalogues referring to earthquakes in 

 general prior to Mallet, but I do not know of any subsequent to 

 these collated by Fuchs. Since 1870 however, many catalogues 

 referring to countries or regions have been compiled. 



Italian Records. — Mario Baratta, in his " I Terremoti 

 d'ltalia," published by Fratelli Bocca, Turin, 1901, gives in a 

 volume of 950 pp. accounts of 1,364 earthquakes which have 

 shaken the Italian Peninsula. The date of the first is A.D. 1 

 and of the last 1898. Each earthquake is discussed and in 

 many instances small maps are given showing the area 

 disturbed. References to authorities occupy 103 pp. 



Austria)! (Central) Records.— These have been abstracted 

 from a " Chronologische Ubersicht der Wiener Erdbeben" by 

 P. v. Radios, see Die Erdbebenwarte 1908-1909 pp. 118-141. 



Russian Records. — In the Memoirs of the Imperial Russian 

 Geographical Society, vol. XXVI there is a catalogue of the 

 earthquakes of the Russian Empire, by Mushketof and Orlof.
