Description:Excerpt from Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 1913, Vol. 3 This letter, from one of our best and most trustworthy engineers, brings home to us very sharply the need of the kind of information asked for. Our reply to it was necessarily short and disappointing, both to the engineer and to us. Some of the things that might have been said are given here for the sake of the cause and for the information of those who, sooner or later, are likely to ask similar questions. To our great regret the reasonable information requested by this engineer cannot be furnished either by the Seismological Society or by any other organization, or by any individual, for the simple reason that it does not exist. And it does not exist because there has been and there still is no systematic collection and publication of earth quake data in this country. As every engineer knows, the data called for cannot be obtained by experimental work in laboratories or deduced from mathematical formulas, but they require observations covering wide areas and long periods of time.
