Abstract
In the present paper the author intends to discuss Love waves using the elliptic-cylindrical co-ordinates.
In this case, the solutions have a singular plane with finite breadth 2c as a seismic focus and the waves of elliptic shape propagate outwards from the origin. But the waves propagate nearly circularly at the point whose horizontal distance from the centre of the focus is 4e or more. The nature of Love waves, that is the predominance of transverse component of the displacement is also deduced in this paper.
