Abstract
ACCORDING to Gutenberg and Richter, the southern California area, including the Owens Valley, has about one half of one per cent of the seismic activity of the globe ("Frequency of Earthquakes in California." By B. Gutenberg and C. F. Richter. Bull. Seis. Soc. Amer., 34, No. 4, 185; 1944). This conclusion is arrived at by considering statistically up-to-date information concerning earthquakes, employing the instrumental magnitude scale.
