Summary Readings of P from widely recorded nuclear detonations in the Eniwetok and Bikini atolls in the Central Pacific have been published by Carder. In the present paper the analysis is somewhat modified. Travel times are calculated up to 105°; the difference from the J‐B times of 1940 is about ‐7.5 s at 10°, ‐3‐5 s about 62°, and about ‐2.3 s from 95° to 105°. In the ranges 37°‐53° and 69°‐94° the differences are less than 2.0 s.
