give.s the distance, D, of various stations from the origin and the number of minutes occupied by C and M to 

 travel from the origin to the station. The average velocity DjC may refer to Pi or P2, while DjM 

 refers to P3. 



The times at which P], P^, and P3 would be expected to reach New Zealand and the "Discovery" would 

 be as follows : — 



New Zealand Pi 14.51, Po 15.0, Pg 1.5.17. 



"Discovery" Pj 14.56, Po 15.7, P3 15.35. 



From this it appears that with a disturbance of greater intensity than No. 6, Pi was recognisable at 

 Christchurch. 



8. March 28. 



In all probability the first entry refers to a shock which had an Antarctic origin. The relations between 

 the times of these two disturbances as recorded in Batavia and by the " Discovery " are somewhat similar 

 to those for No. 4, and one may be the secondary of the other. 



At Christchurch a very slight disturbance was noted at 'J 12' 7. The inference is that the shock after 

 reaching Christchurch had about 9° to travel liefore reaching the " Discovery," A possible origin would 

 be about 10" S.W. of New Zealand.
