Abstract
It is no exaggeration to claim that seismology (as well as the whole of geophysics) depends more on a continuous international cooperation than most other branches of science. In seismology we are not only concerned with an exchange of scientific results but also to a very high extent with an exchange of primary data. Most seismograph stations report their readings regularly to several world centres. Frequently, reporting is made from a central station or institute responsible for a whole network. For instance, the Seismological Institute at Uppsala is the centre of a seismograph network in Sweden (Table 2), and both the reading of records and reporting are done for the whole network at the institute. Table 21 gives a review of the bulletin service and Figure 89 shows a sample page from the monthly bulletin. This may serve as an example of an activity which now goes on in most countries.
