Abstract
MORNER and Lanser1, in 1974, gave evidence that the Gothenberg Geomagnetic Event had been discovered in New Zealand. The report was made prematurely, being based on remarks by Topping2 in an address at the INQUA Congress in Christchurch, New Zealand, 1973. Further investigations, detailed here, show that the presumed evidence for the Gothenberg reversal was unsound.
