Note. — The figures denote the day of the month on which one or more shocks 

 were felt. Those with the asterisk affixed were described as smart. The 

 remainder were only slight tremors, and no doubt escaped record at most 

 stations, there being no instrumental means employed for their detection. 

 These tables are therefore not reliable as far as indicating the geographical 

 distribution of the shocks within New Zealand. The records of the Milne 

 seismographs recently established at Wellington and Christohurch will be 

 found on p. 582 et seq.
