Abstract
ALL students of seismology and vulcanology will learn with regret that Prof. Sekiya has passed from amongst us. He was born towards the end of 1855, a year well remembered by the inhabitants of Yedo as that of the great earthquake. In 1876, whilst on a visit to England to complete his studies as a mechanical engineer, he fell a victim to consumption, the symptoms of which gradually grew more and more severe until January 9 of this year, when they culminated in his death.
