Abstract
THE beautiful Japanese chart of variation of latitude which accompanies Prof. Nagaoka's communication to NATURE of October 8 starts many inquiries. The motion was within six feet of swing until upset by the Mindanao earthquake, which started an annual wobble of double that amount. This may throw light on the gyroscopic causes of wobble.
