Abstract
IT is reported in Earthquake Notes(11, No. 4; April 1940) that through the co-operative effort of the Bermuda authorities, the Woods Hole Oceano-graphic Institute, the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey and Dr. George P. Woollard of Princeton University, the second component of the Milne-Shaw seismograph at Bermuda has been installed, the first records being obtained on December 10, 1939. The significance of this station is not only that earthquakes in eastern North America and the West Indies will be located more accurately, but also satisfactory studies of wave transmission over all mid-Atlantic paths have become possible. The position of this St. Georges, Bermuda, meteorological and seismological station is latitude 32° 22’ 47// N., longitude 64° 40A 57″ W., elevation 136 ft.; Mr. C. P. Bartram is in charge.
