Mr. Alan Owston, of Yokohama, kindly sends me records of earth- 
quakes he has noted at that place; whilst Mr. Joseph Rippon, of the 
West India Cable Co., and Mr. Maxwell Hall, of the Weather Office, 
Jamaica, send records relating to that country. Observers in various 
parts of the world send from time to time results of their observations. 
Visitors.—Baron Kujo; H. M. B. Cooke, Kolas Gold Field, South 
India; Dr. J. B. A. Treusch, Fanning Island; G. Hewett, Paramaribo; 
Sir H. B. Donkin; Lord Tennyson; Hon. A. R. D. Elliott; Officers 
of the Royal Fusiliers; L. F. Richardson, Eskdalemuir; G. F. C. Searle 
and D. L. Scott, Cambridge; Prof. W. J. Sollas and a party of 
geological students from Oxford; G. Owen, Liverpool University ; 
Prof. H. H. Turner, Oxford. 
Stations. 
Fanning Island, 159° 40' W., 4° N.—This is a Coral Atoll about 
30 miles in circumference, no part of which is more than 1000 feet 
distant from the sea and not more than 10 feet above it. The instru- 
ment is in charge of Dr. J. B. A. Treusch. 
Agincourt.—In the Report for 1912, page 70, this appeared as if 
it were a station at which there was a seismograph, which, however, 
is not the case. Certain of the magnetometers at the Agincourt 
Observatory are, however, occasionally disturbed by teleseismic motion, 
which did not happen with the same instruments when they were 
installed in Toronto. 
Toronto.—The seismograph here was first installed in the old 
Observatory buildings. In March 1908, when these were abolished, 
it was temporarily erected in a dwelling-house. On September 30, 
1909, it was permanently installed in the barograph room in the 
basement of the new Meteorological Office, which is about half a mile 
north of the site of the old Observatory. 
Shide, Wireless Telegraphy at.—At the end of last year Mr. J. J. 
Shaw, of West Bromwich, very kindly installed me a wireless tele- 
graphic system, the object of which was to obtain time signals from 
the Hiffel Tower or North Germany. Up to date it has worked 
satisfactorily, giving time to within half a second. This it has done 
in all kinds of weather, when it was impossible to make an observa- 
tion on the sun or to obtain a Greenwich signal. The cost of an 
installation for this purpose is less than 10I. 
II. Seismic Activity in 1910. 
The following catalogue is a continuation of catalogues published 
in the British Association Report, 1911, p. 57, and 1912, p. 70. 
The number given to an earthquake corresponds to that which 
is given to the same disturbance in the Shide Registers, published as 
British Association Circulars. The numbers with an asterisk (*) refer 
to earthquakes which have disturbed the whole world. Those which 
are not thus marked have been recorded over areas of not less than two
