364 ISotes on the Earthquake of October, 1860. 



Bic, 6 a. m., Three shocks at intervals of some seconds, noise 

 continued for 10 minutes. 



Green Island, 6 a. m. 



Riviere du Loup, 6 a. m. A series of shocks lasting nearly five 

 minutes. A schooner off this place experienced a shock re- 

 sembling that of striking on a sand-bank, and the waters of 

 the Gulf were unusually agitated. 



River Quelle, 6.15 a. m. Yerv violent, damaQfino; walls and 

 throwing down chimneys, especially in low grounds. 



Eboulements, near Murray Bay, 5.30 a. m. Violent. Five other 

 feeble shocks in rapid succession, another at noon and another 

 at 5 p. m. This is the only place where these latter shocks are 

 mentioned, but the hour of the first is probably an error, as 

 Bay St. Paul, quite near Eboulements, agrees in this respect 

 more nearly with other places. 



Bay St. Paul, 5.50 a. m. Violent shock ; chimneys fell, 



St. Thomas (Montmagny) 6 a. m. Two shocks. 



St. Joseph de la Beauce, 6.10 a. m.

 parts of the city and in the environs ; but less so than at 

 River Quelle, &c.

 minute, buildings reported damaged.

 posed to be from North to South.

 the Mountain than on lower ground.
