Abstract
ABOUT the beginning of 1934, Montserrat began to be troubled by earthquakes and tremors. They became very severe and numerous in May and again in December. In 1935 they were worse still; much damage was done to buildings and naturally a great deal of anxiety was engendered in the minds of the inhabitants. In the autumn of 1935, the Governor received a petition from the leading members of the population praying that steps should be taken to determine, if possible, whether there was danger of a volcanic eruption.
