Abstract
THE United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, in co-operation with Science Service and the Jesuit Seismological Association, has now determined the epicentre of the earthquake of November 14, 1939, to have been near lat. 39° 45′ N., long. 75° 18′ W., which is only 10′ due south of the point suggested as being very near to the epicentre by the Franklin Institute at Philadelphia. The depth of focus is estimated as having been about 25 km.
