Abstract
THE Council of the University of Melbourne recently approved an arrangement whereby the seismograph of the former Melbourne Observatory, which the University accepted from the Government of Victoria when the Observatory was disbanded in 1941, will in future be in the care of the Department of Geology of the University. A member of staff of the Geology School (Mr. A. J. Gaskin) has been nominated seismologist, and a technical assistant provided for him. It is hoped that the issuing of seismological bulletins will be commenced in June 1949, and that the issue will thereafter be at regular intervals, probably quarterly. Instrumentation remains unchanged for the present. All records later than those listed in the last leaflet issued for the Observatory (July 2, 1940) have been inspected, and information regarding them may be obtained on application. Correspondence (including requests for the receipt of bulletins) should now be addressed to the Seismologist, Department of Geology, University of Melbourne, Carlton, N.3, Victoria, Australia.
