448 



Earthquakes reported in New Zealand during 1885. 



The figures denote the day of the month on which one or more shocks were 

 felt. Those with an asterisk affixed were described as smart, those 

 with a dagger as severe shocks. 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.
