224 REPORTS ON THE STATE OF SCIENCE, ETC. 
seismographs, which were his gift to Eskdalemuir Observatory and which 
are now in operation at Kew Observatory, may be regarded as a token of 
Schuster’s strong belief that good instruments, well standardised, were a 
necessary aid to progress in seismology. 
Miss E. F. Bellamy and Mr. J. S. Hughes, both of the University 
Observatory, Oxford, have been co-opted as members of the Committee. 
Finance-——The annual grant of £100 from the Caird Fund and the 
s pecial grant of £50 from the General Fund of the British Association were 
allocated to the University Observatory, Oxford, for the maintenance of 
work on the International Seismological Summary. ‘The Committee also 
voted the sum of £50 from the Gray-Milne Fund for the same purpose. 
It will be necessary to make like provision for the coming year. 
The Committee has authorised the making of a large metal sphere, on 
which the positions of all seismological stations are to be permanently 
marked. It is expected that it will be possible to measure epicentral 
distances on this sphere with an accuracy which has not been attained 
previously by such simple means. ; 
The memoir by Dr. Jeffreys and Mr. K. E. Bullen, in which the results 
of their analysis of the travel-times of earthquake waves are set out, has 
been published by the International Seismological Association. (Travaux 
Scientifiques, Série A., Fasc. 11.) "The data on which the memoir depends 
were derived from the I.S.S., and it was regarded as appropriate that a grant 
should be given from the Gray-Milne Fund to enable the tabular matter to 
be printed with the text of the memoir. It will be recalled that standard 
tables based on the work of Jeffreys and Bullen have already been taken 
into use in the preparation of the I.S.S. 
The income of the Gray-Milne Fund is still suffering from the lapse of 
the dividends due from the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Bound Volumes of the Summary.—lIn accordance with a recommendation 
of the Committee recipients of the J.S.S. were given the choice between 
quarterly parts, and the bound volume, for the year 1930. The bound 
volume was chosen by 135 and the parts by 205. The volume, strongly 
bound in blue cloth, is now on sale (post free £1 1s.) and is to be obtained 
from The Director, University Observatory, Oxford. 
A New Catalogue of Earthquakes——A catalogue of earthquakes, of the 
years 1925 to 1930 inclusive, has been prepared by Miss Bellamy, and is 
being published by the British Association.’ This catalogue is based on
