For the city and harbour of Kochi, including Urado Bay, facing the Pacific Ocean, an experimental study has teen carried out on the problem of protection from tsunami disasters, and future harbour planning; that is, dredging, reclamation and construction of breakwaters against tsunamis. A hydraulic model of horizontal scale 1/250 and vertical l/lOO was used according to Froud's similitude. The transformation of the design tsunami m the hay was studied to find the effect of the tsunami breakwaters, dredging and reclamations by use of the model which was able to reproduce the Chilean Tsunami.

Most Europeans do not worry about tsunami waves as much as those who live around the rim of the Pacific Ocean, but they should. On All Saint’s Day, 1755, a huge earthquake struck Lisbon, Portugal, causing most stone buildings to collapse, including churches, monasteries, nunneries, and chapels, trapping the faithful inside the ruins, which votive candles quickly turned into burning pyres. Voltaire would write, “The sole consolation is that the Jesuit Inquisitors of Lisbon will have disappeared.” To add to the irony, among the few buildings safely left standing following the disaster were the lightly constructed wooden bordellos of the city. Most of Lisbon’s prostitutes but few of her nuns survived. Tsunami waves would not only kill thousands around Lisbon’s harbor but also travel south to Spain and North Africa, north to Ireland and Wales, and across the Atlantic Ocean to the Caribbean, flooding the streets of Barbados.

The report by Titian Ramsay Peale on birds encountered during the Wilkes Expedition was withdrawn for inaccuracy when few copies had been distributed, and re-written by John Cassin. A survey of the accounts of the petrels shows that this was not an improvement. Two important type localities for Procellaria brevipes and Thalassidroma lineata are probably wrong, and could be exchanged.
