Earthquakes. 



641 



Earthquakes reported in New Zealand during 1896. 



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. Those tables are therefore not reliable 

 as far as indicating the geographical distribution of the shocks.
