On the Cover…
German seismologist Wilhelm Hiller’s simple seismoscopes were designed to record the first motion direction of P-waves to gather data for fault plane solutions. The three snapshots show Hiller’s seismoscope with a falling 2-mm diameter steel pin as active indicator. This issue's Historical Seismologist column, “Hiller’s Seismoscope,” by Klaus-G. Hinzen and Roman Kovalev, examines the performance of the instrument with a numerical model, testing its sensitivity and capability to record correct P-wave polarities.

Table of Contents
Seismological Research Letters

The bimonthly Seismological Research Letters serves as a general forum for informal communication among seismologists, as well as between seismologists and those nonspecialists interested in seismology and related disciplines. The contents of SRL include contributed articles on topics of broad seismological interest, opinion pieces on current seismological topics, News and Notes about seismology in the U.S. and internationally, Transitions notes about seismologists, special earthquake reports, and letters to the editor.

"The Electronic Seismologist" is one of SRL's most popular columns. Many readers find its information on data exchange, the World Wide Web, and bulletin boards containing seismological information necessary reading. "EduQuakes" aims to provide a forum for the ongoing educational mission of the Seismological Society.

SRL prides itself on its ability to disseminate information quickly. For example, articles with preliminary reports about recent earthquakes of major public interest have appeared in as little as two months after the occurrences of the events. In summary, SRL is an excellent tool for keeping current on developments in earthquake seismology.
