Abstract
THE recent earthquake, reported as severe in Burmah, has left its record on our Milne seismograph by a displacement of the boom nearly as great as on January 3, 1911. On that date all the three needles of the magnetograph were shaken by the earth wave, and notably that of the horizontal force, of bifilar suspension. On the recent occasion of May 23 we find no indication of any mechanical disturbance of the needles. In the former waves the vertical movements must have been much more pronounced than on May 23.
