Abstract
IN studying the great Chilean earthquake of Nov. 10, 1922, Prof. Bailey Willis has been led to some interesting conclusions with regard to the origin of the great earthquakes of Chile and Peru. Invited by the Carnegie Institution to study the earthquake, he spent seven months in Chile, five of them in the province of Atacama, in which the earthquake attained its greatest strength. The results of his work are described in a volume of unusual interest and value.1
