V. Miscellaneous Notes eelatixg to Large Earthquakes, itc. 



1. Large Earthqiialcps. — During the past twelve months Japan has 

 been visited by several destructive earthquakes, seismographic records of 

 which are given in the list of shocks recorded by the Gray-Milne seismo- 

 graph in Tokio. The velocities with which certain of these disturbances 

 were propagated in Japan will be found in the fourth section of this 

 report. At least three of the shocks were recorded in Europe, and to 

 determine the velocities with which they were propagated diagrams and 

 notes relating to observations made in Japan have been forwarded to Dr. 

 E. von Rebeur-Paschwitz and Dr. P. Tacchini. The most notable dis- 

 turbances were as follows. 



June 20, 1894. Preference was made to this shock in the report for 

 1894. In Tokio it was felt very severely, destruction being equally great 

 amongst foreign-built brick buildings on the high ground, and amongst 

 similar structures in the foreign concession on the low ground. An ex- 

 cellent diagram, obtained from a seismograph without multiplication, has 

 been published in the 'Journal of the College of Science ' (Imperial Uni- 

 versity of Japan). The after shocks were extremely few in number.
