On Dec. 27th, 1951, 7.8 tons of carlit were exploded at Isibuti, adjacent to the site of our first experiment, the result of which we have already reported. Seismic waves from the explosion were observed along two profiles, extending to the south and to the east from Isibuti.
In the eastern direction, at least three horizontal layers are found, the velocities of P waves through them being 2.56, 4.67 and 6.08km/sec and the depths of the interfaces between them being 0.75km and 1.59km respectively.
Different features are seen in the southern direction, that is, no effect of the second layer can be recognized, and the velocity in the third layer is about 5.91km/sec. At Sinobu, where the epicentral distance is 160km, a phase is seen, which may correspond to a phase through the lower (fourth) layer, i. e. so-called P
n. Also a phase with the velocity of 3.37km/sec is seen in both of the directions, which may be supposed to be S in the previous experiment. But a remarkable phase of the same velocity, which appeared about 1 second after S in the first experiment, cannot be found this time.
