Abstract
A MEETING of the permanent commission of the International Association of Seismology will be held at Zermatt on August 30, under the chairmanship of Prof. Arthur Schuster, F.R.S. At this meeting reports will be presented from a number of committees, appointed at the last general meeting, which took place at The Hague in 1907, and questions of organisation will be discussed. Papers will be read by Mr. H. F. Reid, on some lessons of the Californian earthquake and a method of foretelling certain earthquakes; by Mr. Albert Heim, on the objects of earthquake investigations; and by Prof. Palazzo, on a projected seismic triangulation by means of wireless telegraphy. The Central Government of the Confederation has charged the Swiss Naturforschende Gesellschaft with the organisation of the meeting, and arrangements have been made for the accommodation of the delegates taking part in the conference, who will also be able to travel on the railway between Visp and the Corner Grat at half fares.
