Abstract
DURING the past year, 1941, a new teleseismic station was established at Auckland, New Zealand. The station is equipped with a Milne-Shaw seismograph, and accurate time is maintained on the records. It is administered by the Dominion Observatory, Wellington (acting director, Mr. R. C. Hayes), as part of the New Zealand seismological service. The instrument was established with the co-operation of the Auckland Institute and Museum, and is operated by members of the Museum staff. This new station is proving of great value in the recording of earthquakes, not only in the New Zealand region, but also in the south-western Pacific generally.
