Abstract

In Algeria, as in many other places, the lack of reliable macroseismic and instrumental information makes the study of long-term seismicity difficult. The earthquake of 24 June 1910 provides an example of these difficulties, and demonstrates the uncritical way in which such information is often used in the preparation of earthquake catalogues. This earthquake, with a magnitude ( M s ) of 6.6. is equal in size to the Orleansville (El Asnam) earthquake of 9 September 1954, and is the second largest shock in Algeria this century.
