Field tests were conducted on 11 March 1974 in Waiaal Victoria to compare the seismic efficiency of Molanite, TNT, and-Anzite Blue. Ueismic energy p:enerated by equal amounts of each explosive was recorded in identical conditions, and the amplitudes of the refracted and reflected waves were measured and compared. The comparisons indicated that Molanite and Anzite Blue were equally efficient whereas TNT was about 10 percent less efficient. No significant difference was observed in the character of the seismic energy generated by any of the explosives tested.
