Abstract
IN 1937 there were no really great earthquakes, but damage was done by eight shocks, and several others were felt by human beings in various parts of the world. The eight which did damage Were Guelma (Algeria), February 10; Rabaul, 4° 10' S., 152° 10' E. (New Britain), May 28 ; Maltrata (Mexico), July 26 ; Tsao-Tcheou (China), August 1 ; Manila (Philippines), August 20 ; Samarang (Java), September 27 ; Mexico City, December 23 ; and Oxapampa (Peru), December 29. These and others are discussed by Prof. J. P. Rothe, of Strasbourg, in Revue pour ÍÊtude des Calamites, 1, No. 2, 1938, under six regional headings: continent of Europe, Mediterranean region, continent of Asia, Asiatic islands and circum-Pacific coastlines, the American continent and the African continent with Madagascar. It is noteworthy that no disastrous earthquake was felt in Europe, and the only one reported from Britain was near Birmingham.
