This correspondence is a copy of one forwarded by the Bombay 
Govt. to the Secy. of State for India.—The Collector of Shikarpore 
reports that a severe shock of an earthquake was felt about a quar- 
ter to 3 Pp. M. on the 28th October, 1870; it lasted for about a 
minute. The earthquake was especially felt at Naushera, Lark- 
hana, Lubdurza, Mehur and Kukur, and the shock is stated to have 
been more severe in the hills than in the plains. A second but 
slighter shock was again felt at Nusseerabad, Teje, Mehur and 
Kukur on the 1st November, 1870. 
Another report from the Commissioner in Sind says that a slight 
shock was experienced at Jacobabad and Thoole at about 2-30 P. M. 
on the 28th October, 1870. 
A third report records a severe shock of an earthquake at 
Dadoo, lasting for about 5 minutes, at 2 p. mM. on the 28th 
October, 1870; and a second slighter shock, lasting for about 
one minute, was felt about 3 rp. m. on the same day. The earth- 
quake appears to have been experienced throughout the Talooka 
Dadoo, as various reports state that shocks have also been felt at 
different times of the day and night on the 27th, 28th and 29th 
October, 1870. No serious damage appears to have been done. 
2. From Mr. J. H. Samuells — addressed to, and communicated 
by, Col. Dalton. 
Mr. Samuells reports that the temples near Harchoka in Chang 
Bhokar are very extensive, but unfortunately some of them are 
almost entirely in ruins and the destruction by the annual floods 
in the rainy season goes on so rapidly, that in another 100 years 
many will have probably altogether disappeared. The inscrip- 
tions are very much worn off, but what remained preserved, Mr. 
Samuells had taken rubbings of, and also executed plans of the 
different temples. The inscriptions appear to be in very old Nagari 
character. 
The Council notified (in conformity with rule 13 B. of bye-laws) 
that the names of the following gentlemen have to be struck off 
the list of members for non-compliance with rule 13 of bye-laws, 
A. G. Walker, Esq. 
C. J. Wiikinson, Esq.
