Abstract
A housing for a seismic sensing element () for use on the earth's surface comprises connecting means () for connecting the housing () to a support cable () so as to allow relative movement between the sensor housing () and the cable (). This de-couples the sensor housing from the support cable, and improves the fidelity of the sensor. The connecting means () preferably comprises resilient connecting elements, to prevent the transmission of vibrations between the support cable and the sensor housing. The sensor housing () preferably has a flat base (), so that there is good coupling between the sensor housing and the earth. Alternatively, the sensor housing can be fitted with a base member (() that has at least one flat face ().
