Abstract
Magnitude in seismology is a concept complementary to intensity. The latter is a measure of effects at a particular point of observation; whereas magnitude is a measure of a given shock as a whole. At the conference at Strasbourg in July, 1947, M. E. Peterschmitt presented an excellent report on the magnitude scale and its implications. Only a very few details in his discussion call for qualification.
