Abstract
Abstract A catalog of instrumentally determined earthquakes in China (magnitude ≧6) from 1901 to 1976 has been compiled in a form suitable for computers. The data include the origin time, epicenter, focal depth, magnitude, the province where the earthquake occurred, and information sources. The source materials which we consulted are extensive and include publications in Chinese and Japanese.
