Abstract
As I have had occasion to study and compare the records of nearly all the types of seismographs for recording distant earthquakes which are now in use, I may perhaps be permitted to add something to Prof. Milne's letter in NATURE of January 2. The nature of the records, and the relative merits of different types, of seismographs, are not generally apprehended in England, and appear to be misunderstood in Strassburg, from whence much of the recent seismological literature has been inspired.
