The disturbed area, therefore, lies entirely within the land. It is also one over which villages and country houses are for the most part closely scattered, and it has thus been possible to obtain a large number of careful and detailed accounts. I have received altogether 391 records from 298 places where the earthquake was observed, and 103 others from 97 places where, so far as known, no trace of it was perceived.","PeriodicalId":20661,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society of London","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1098/rspl.1894.0133","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"62359417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is found that, when such a system is oscillating in one of its fundamental modes, the disturbances of the fluid are all expressible by means of Lamé functions, the functions involved being all of the same order; and a method of obtaining the frequencies of these oscillations, similar to that used by M. Poincaré for a fluid ellipsoid with a free surface, is given.","PeriodicalId":20661,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society of London","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1098/rspl.1894.0153","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"62360825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I then show how, by forming what I call a “square-matrix,” all the conditions can be obtained which are fulfilled when a polynomial f(2) of the degree 2n in z is a perfect square. With regard to these conditions, I remark that any one of them being given all the others can be found by successive operations of the operator δ.","PeriodicalId":20661,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society of London","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1098/rspl.1894.0154","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"62361484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
