Abstract
DURING December 1943, twenty-eight earthquakes were registered by the seismographs at the geophysical observatory at Toledo in Spain. The greatest of these occurred on December 1, and registered at 10h. 47m. 14s. from an epicentre some 87·2° distant from Toledo. The depth of focus has been estimated to have been 150 km. and the earthquakes gave rise to amplitudes of 130 μ at Toledo. The nearest earthquake to Toledo during the month occurred on December 31, registering at 19h. 29m. 24s. from an epicentre 240 km. distant. The next nearest occurred on December 26 from an epicentre approximately 470 km. distant. This last epicentre may have been in the Pirineos Centrales.
