The origin is probably on a line joining these stations 125" E. Long., 50 S. Lat. 



81. April 25. 



The above records suggest an origin 60 distant from the first two stations, and about fi S.S. \\". from 

 Cape Town, or 18 E. Long, and 40 S. Lat. 



82. April 29. 



From the amplitude of movement and the time of arrival of the large waves at Wellington it is evident 

 that the origin of the disturbance was nearer to that station than to any other. This is one of the largest 

 earthquakes which has been recorded with its origin in district M. It disturbed the whole world. The 

 time of origin based on the value of M - C for the nearer stations would be 4h. 5m., or half-an-hour after 

 the occurrence of a disastrous earthquake in Caucasia, distant 150. If we read this time of origin 

 4h. Om., this is the time at which the preliminary tremors from Caucasia, generated at 23h. 40ra. on 

 April 28, reached their antipodes, or the district in which the earthquake we are discussing took place.
