The importance of the effect of the Earth's ellipticity on the traveltimes of earthquake waves was recently brought into prominence in a paper by Gutenberg and Richter,* and Jeffreys -ihas since given a theoretical analysis of the general effect. It is proposed in this paper to examine in detail the effect on P and S waves.
