and especialli^ in Scotland. 375 



This list, like the one previously given, indicates only the 

 shocks attended by movement, and not those indicated by 

 sound only. There is no shock producing a movement which 

 is not accompanied by noise of one kind or other, but occa- 

 sionally the peculiar noise is heard, without either heave or 

 tremor. 



In regard to several of the shocks recorded in the foregoing 

 list, some observations were made, not stated in the table, and 

 which will now be specially noticed. 



St/i June 1842. — The horizontal pendulum in Mr M*Far- 

 lane's house was moved, indicating a vertical upheave of the 

 ground, rather more than half an inch. 



29th November 1842. — Cloudy, showery day, but fine. 



4th December 1842. — Both morning and evening cloudy ; a 

 red sunset.

 ing, rain and wind. The shocks here recorded were felt only 

 at Tomperran, half a mile east of Comrie. 



2dd March 1843. — Day very foggy, dark and damp, but 

 fair till 3^^ p.m. ; very heavy shower at 4 p.m.; rest of day

 29.12, at the instant of the second shock, it stood at 29.1.

 been felt with about equal severity at Comrie, St Fillan's

 geldy (six miles N. W.) At Comrie, the vertical pendulums 

 were moved E. and W., about one-eighth of an inch. The 

 horizontal pendulum sunk ^^^^th of an inch. The second shock 

 was felt at Clatheck, but not at Comrie. The day cloudy,
