Abstract
PROF. BENO GUTENBERG, of Pasadena, California, has been doing a considerable amount of work recently on problems connected with the earth's crust immediately beneath high mountains. He has investigated in great detail the structure of Southern California as it may be interpreted in the light of data from 'near' earthquakes. In a recent paper he summarizes our present knowledge (much of which is due to himself) concerning the roots of mountains throughout the world (“Seismological Evidence for Roots of Mountains”, by Beno Gutenberg. Bull. Geol. Soc. Amer., 54, 473-498 ; April 1, 1943).
