Sarma & Naidu (1972 a), Ramachandra Rao (1973) and Grigor’ev & Dokuchaev<br />

(1970) considered the pressure field, and Rehm & Radt (1975) the Bouss<strong>in</strong>esq vertical<br />

displacement, radiated by a monochromatic po<strong>in</strong>t mass source. Then Sarma & Naidu<br />

(1972 b) and Ramachandra Rao (1975) obta<strong>in</strong>ed the pressure, and Tolstoy (1973 § 7.3) the<br />

far-field non-Bouss<strong>in</strong>esq vertical displacement, generated by a vertical po<strong>in</strong>t force source. Of<br />

all these calculations only those of Sarma & Naidu (1972 a, b), Ramachandra Rao (1975) and<br />

Tolstoy (1973) disagree with ours, the discrepancies be<strong>in</strong>g extra factors –1/2 if ⏐ω⏐ > N and<br />

+1/2 if ⏐ω⏐ < N for Ramachandra Rao, –1/2 for Tolstoy. The 1975 result of Ramachandra Rao<br />

is moreover not consistent with his 1973 one, while the pressure of Sarma & Naidu never<br />

propagates. In § 5.1 an explanation for these differences is given.
