The Kangra Earthquake of April 4, 1905

Abstract

THERE have been certain papers on Indian geological questions recently published in the Neues Jahrbuch and associated Centralblatt für Mineralogie, Geol. und Pal. (Stuttgart), in which either the data or the deductions, generally both, have been unsound. In most cases the authorship alone has been sufficient to enable us to separate those papers that are worth careful study from those that are not even worth the time necessary to read. But in the latest production one of the editors of the journal appears as a joint-author, and one wonders-consequently whether the papers we have been discarding, in India as untrustworthy are, after all, normal or accessory constituents of a periodical which all geologists have regarded hitherto as essential to a working library.
