Earthquake region of Taofu

INTRODUCTION The observations presented here were made during a rapid reconnaissance expedition in Sikang Province (Chinese Tibet), organized in 1930 with the support of Sunyatsen University, Canton, A year previously, Rev. J. H. Edgar, of Tatsienlu, remarked that, as the result of attempts to trace the fissure-lines across the stricken area, he had become convinced that many of the fissures were of considerably greater age but had passed unnoticed until the time of the catastrophe. The accuracy of his conclusion was amply demonstrated during the course of the expedition, which greatly profited by his guidance in the field. Cordial thanks are due to him, as well as to Mr. and Mrs. Marcel Urech, of the China Inland Mission at Tatsienlu, whose hospitality and help were large factors in the success of the expedition. The most important publications dealing with earthquakes in China refer almost exclusively to North and Northwest China . . .

Through Jade Gate and Central Asia: an Account of Journeys in Kansu, Turkestan, and the Gobi Desert

THIS is an account of a journey made by three members of the China Inland Mission who started from China and worked their way through Mongolia and Chinese Turkestan to Siberia. The prospects of such a journey would appal most men; the missionaries who made it were women. The difficulties, hardships, and dangers that were faced and overcome are not emphasised, but those who know the route they travelled will best appreciate the courage and endurance of the three ladies who write so modestly of their achievement.

Geographical Notes

AT the meeting of the Royal Geographical Society on Monday evening it was announced that the gold medals had that day been awarded to Col. Nicholas Prejevalsky for the great additions he has made to our knowledge of Central and Eastern High Asia by his successive expeditions into the unexplored parts of the great plateau of Mongolia and the lofty deserts of Western Thibet, and for the admirable way in which he has described the regions traversed by him in the published narratives of his journeys; and to Capt. W. J. Gill, R.E., for excellent geographical work performed during two journeys of exploration, voluntarily undertaken, along the northern frontier of Persia in 1873, and over previously untravelled ground in China and Thibet, in 1877; also for the elaborate memoir and route maps contributed to the forthcoming volume of the Society's Journal. A paper was afterwards read by the Rev. James McCarthy, of the China Inland Mission, descriptive of the journey which ne made, mostly on foot, in 1877, across China, from Chinkiang, on the Yangtsze-Kiang, to Bhamò, in Burmah. The leading features of this journey have been fully described in NATURE. The most noteworthy incident of the evening was a speech, delivered in his native language by the Marquis Tsêng, Chinese Minister to England and France, expressive of the pleasure which he felt at Mr. McCarthy's acknowledgment of the uniformly courteous treatment he experienced during his long journey.
