or merely theoretical interest, but that it is justified by the fact that the whole subject of terrestrial radiation, the temperature of the surface of our planet, and the conditions of organic life upon it are intimately related to that of our present research.

All quality teleseismic recordings of the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake archived in the 1908 Carnegie Report by the State Earthquake Investigation Commission were scanned and digitized. First order results were obtained by comparing complexity and amplitudes of teleseismic waveforms from the 1906 earthquake with well calibrated, similarly located, more recent earthquakes (1979 Coyote Lake...

Nine species of Alysson Panzer 1806 are recorded from Russia and adjacent territories. The new synonymy is proposed for Alysson pertheesi Gorski 1852 =A. fuscatus var. jaroslavensis Kokujev 1906, =A. harbinensis Tsuneki 1967; Pompilus spinosus (Panzer 1801) =Alysson katkovi Kokujev 1906. The number of valid species-group taxa in the genus Alysson is reduced to 39 species. An original key to the...
