Abstract
AT the present time the shelves of libraries throughout the world are bending beneath volumes of statistics, the analysis of which it is hoped will lead to the discovery of something new. To these piles of undigested materials, if we surmise correctly, there is shortly to be added an inundation of statistics from those who study earthquakes. Twenty years ago, seismologists were few and far between, but now they have increased in number and are represented by organised societies, which publish journals and reports. The first of these had its origin in Japan. Fifteen years later a corresponding body appeared in Italy, following on the heels of which came commissions and committees with similar objects in various European countries. Even the time-honoured routine of many meteorological and magnetical observatories has not been allowed to rest in peace, and the daily round at these establishments includes a visit to the seismographs.
