Transactions of the Seismological Society of Japan, 1887, Vol. 10 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Transactions of the Seismological Society of Japan, 1887, Vol. 10
The following paper is an account of a series of observations made upon earthquakes felt in Tokyo between March, 1884, and March, 1885. The place of observation was the grounds of the Imperial College of Engineering. These grounds are situated at a slightly higher elevation than the alluvial plain on which a great portion of Tokyo is built; at the same time they are near to the foot of several of the bluffs which form the edges of the plateau which overlooks the city. Speaking generally, the ground is flat. On its western side it is somewhat marshy, but the remainder of the ground is dry and hard. From the detailed plan of the ground, which was specially surveyed and drawn under the superintendence of my colleague Mr. T. Alex ander to illustrate this paper, all details respecting topography, the position of buildings, moats, observing stations, &c., may be readily seen.
