        abstract = {The truncated Gutemberg-Richter frequency-magnitude relationship in conjunction with a Poisson distribution is used to develop an asymptotic distribution of extreme values. This model is applied to estimate M\_max and to estimate the probability of occurrence of earthquakes in Finland, using for earthquakes occurring throughout the period 1700-1979. The earthquake with the greatest magnitude within a ten-year period was used. The application of maximum likelihood procedure for the parameter estimation provides M\_max=5.0{$\pm$}0.1.}
