It appears that the phase “ScScS” (i.e., not ScSScS or ScS2) is a valid phase for phase\_list. This is also the case for Philip Crotwell’s TauP codes. The taup\_time output for:

prompt\> taup\_time -mod ak135 -ph ScS,ScScS,ScSScS -h 0 -deg 0

## Model: ak135 Distance Depth Phase Travel Ray Param Takeoff Incident Purist Purist (deg) (km) Name Time (s) p (s/deg) (deg) (deg) Distance Name

```
0.00 0.0 ScS 935.77 0.000 0.00 0.00 0.00 = ScS   
0.00 0.0 ScScS 1265.67 0.000 0.00 0.00 0.00 = ScScS 
0.00 0.0 ScSScS 1871.54 0.000 0.00 0.00 0.00 = ScSScS

```

Just for the record, the fix for this issue in my java code is here:

> <https://github.com/crotwell/TauP/commit/b534c8ed4bd05c2d4608e81feee35825d56dfa35>

and the fix will be in the next release.
