After citing a number of very early works in which the word is found it was stated that the earliest use of the term, so far as had been ascertained, was in Lovell’s “Pammineralogicon or an Universal History of Minerals etc.,” which appeared in 1661.Since that meeting further information on the subject has been obtained, and this is presented in the present communication.Robert Plot in his “Natural History of Stafford-Shire,” published at Oxford in 1686, in writing of the phenomena attendant upon earthquakes, says (p. 145) “as we find it in the Geologia Norwegica, it makes a terrible rumbleing like loud thunder.” Search for a copy of this. . . .
