After reaching Wellington the shock had about 35° to travel to reach Perth, and 31° to reach the 

 " Discovery," which indicates an origin 15i!° E. Long, and 48° S. Lat., or on the continuation of the New 

 Zealand axis. The time at the origin deduced from the value M - C at Wellington would be 6h. 24m. 

 The time taken for large waves to reach Shide, 1G2° distant, would be Ih. 30m. The actual arrival and 

 the anticipated time for the same are in accordance, and wc have another marked instance of antipodean 

 reappearance. 



June 1 to 5, clock stopped.

From the times given for M at the first four stations we should expect to find an origin at the centre of 

 a circle which passed through Perth and touched a circle of 15° to 18° radius which passed through 

 Wellington, Ghristchurch, and the " Discovery." This indicates a locality 120° E. Long, and 42° S. Lat. 

 The probability, however, is that the same is to be found 10° farther eastwards on the line of the New 

 Zealand axis. That the time of arrival for M at Bidston is 80 minutes later than Perth accords with 

 this supposition. The area shaken closely resembles that for No. 88.

Antipodean disturbances which are nearly simultaneous.
