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, except at Wellington, which is the 

 only station at which a seismograph records the shocks. These 

 tables are therefore not reliable as far as indicating the geographical 

 distribution of the shocks.
