127. October 29. 



In the register for Christchurch, Earthquake No. 158, an earthquake is entered with C for large waves 

 at 14 29-9, M 14 36 5, and with A = 11-5 millims., for October 20. It appears likely that this is a 

 misprint for October 29. If this correction is accepted, an origin is arrived at near to 140 E. Long, and 

 55 S. Lat., in the extension of the New Zealand axis. The time of origin would be about 14.21, and 

 from this origin the large waves would reach Batavia, India, the Cape, and England close upon the times 

 they were noted to arrive. The area disturbed is represented by the surface of the globe. 



128. October 30. 



The records for M and A at the first four stations suggest an origin in the same district as No. 127. 

 The values M - C for the first three entries, however, are far greater than would be expected, The 

 disturbance spread all over the world.
