The earthquake source parameters of Daegu and Incheon Earthquakes occurred on July, 1985 are redetermined and compared with those reported by Central Meteorological Office of Korea(CMO). Instead of the travel time table used in CMO, the seismic velocity structure calculated from the explosion seismic records of the southern part of Korea is adopted in determining source parameters, P-wave and S-P wave arrival times obtained from seismograms recorded in the networks of KIER and JMA including CMO are used. The discrepancies of determined epicenter and focal depth between CMO and the present work appear to be 6∼8 ㎞ and about 10 ㎞, respectively. In conclusion, the potential error included in epicenter of the Korean instrumental earthquake data is supposed to be about 10 km for the earthquakes(M$gt;3) occurred within the CMO network. However, the error will probably be more than 10 ㎞ for smaller earthquakes or earthquakes of the outside of the network.
