Abstract
SINCE the early years of the present century, Prof. Imamura has been widely known as one of the most active and capable of Japanese seismologists. On the death of Prof. Omori in 1923, he succeeded to offices held by him, his first duty being the investigation of the great Kwanto earthquake of that year. He has also made valuable studies on the displacements of the crust in connexion with Japanese earthquakes. In 1931, he retired from the professorship of seismology in the Imperial University of Tokyo, and the notes that he had collected for many courses of lectures form the foundation of the present volume.
