Extract

This paper is a continuation of two papers on Seismic Radiations published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, vol. xxviii, pp. 217–230 (1907–8) and vol. xxx, pp. 23–37 (1909). The object of the present communication is to place on record a new determination of the laws of propagation of seismic waves based upon a method of calculation in which no assumptions are made as to the functional relation between velocity of propagation and distance from the earth's centre. References to the work of others will be given incidentally as occasion arises.
