Abstract
THE Hawaiian Observatory was founded in 1912 by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and financed in large measure by business men in Hawaii. Its publications have been systematic volcano-logic and seismometric bulletins, and two larger re-perts, as well as numerous special articles. The scientific work has been done by Mr. T. A. Jaggar, director of the station, and Mr. H. O. Wood, associate. Preliminary announcement of results 1 at the end of the first five years of work reveals discoveries which may be of interest to science at large, and some of these discoveries are briefly reviewed here.
