1952-3 was the third successive year of geophysical work at Macquarie Island. During the previous year Mr. W.H. Oldham was mainly concerned with the preparation of the establishment for future operation as an observatory. This record outlines how, as a consequence, 1952-53 was devoted to full-time technical proceedings in both geomagnetism and seismology. It does not present the results of the scientific observations in full. These will be presented in a further report, but it does give in tabulated form absolute magnetic values observed and seismic phases recorded.
