110 earthquake parameters (origin time, epicentral location and magnitude) were determined from 533 event records between 1905 and 1942 using data mainly from the "Annual Report of the Meteorological Observatory of the Government General of Tyosen" We adopted epicentral coordinates from the original reports for 34 events and from the Japanese Central Meteorological Observatory far another .34 events. We determined epicenters for 37 events using arrival time information from the reports. We adopted 4 epicenters from the International Seismological Summary and I from the Chinese bulletin. To determine the magnitude, we applied Tsuboi (1954) formula which is currently employed by Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) for 94 events. For 16 events, we determined magnitude from the reef)reed felt epicentral areal using the correlation equation between known magnitude and felt area.

In seismology, instrumental data is covering from the end of the last century and showing large uncertainties in earthquake parameters before 1960. The number and quality of seismological stations have been in steady increased over all the past decades of this century, and this development is still going on. In Korea, reliable instrumental data is only available since 1978 from KMA(Korea Meteorological Administration). However instrumental earthquake observation have started since 1905 by Japanese and seven seismic stations were in operation in 1941. We have compiled and analyzed the early instrumental earthquake data between 1905 and 1942. Total 533 events were analyzed and for 60 events, their epicentral coordinates and magnitude were determined
