The Earthquakes op 1888 and 1889. 



In my fourth Report to the British Association I gave an account of 

 387 earthquakes which had been recorded in North Japan between 

 October 1881 and October 1883. In the sixth, eighth, and tenth Reports 

 accounts are given of the earthquakes felt throughout the whole Empire 

 of Japan during the years 1885, 1886, and 1887. The records of these 

 disturbances were obtained from some 700 observing stations under the 

 control of the Central Meteorological Bureau. Through the kindness of 

 the director of this bureau, Mr. K. Kobayashi, I am now able to give to 

 the Association an epitome of the observations for 1888 and 1889. 



I, Earthquakes in 1888. 

 In 1888 no less than 630 earthquakes were recorded.
