GEOPHYSICAL ABSTRACTS 152, JANUARY-MARCH 1953
By MARY C. BABBITT, S. T. VESSELOWSKY, and others
GENERAL INFORMATION
Geophysical Abstracts attempts to provide informative abstracts
of published material on the physics of the solid earth, the application
of physical methods and techniques to geologic problems, and geo­
physical exploration. Belated material of interest to individual geo-
physicists will also be found in other abstracting journals such as the
Bibliography of Seismology, Chemical Abstracts, Meteorolgical Ab­
stracts, Nuclear Science Abstracts, and Physics Abstracts.
The form of the bibliographic reference is believed to be self-explan­
atory. Abbreviations of journal titles are given in the List of Jour­
nals on succeeding pages. Unless specifically indicated otherwise,
the language in which the article is written is the same as that given in
the title. The system of transliteration used by the United States
Board on Geographic Names is employed for transliteration of Bus-
sian names and titles. Translations of author's abstracts are indi­
cated as "Author's Abstract" followed by the initials of the translator.
Geographic names included within parenthesis are those recom­
mended by the Board on Geographic Names.
