As Professor Agamennone remarks, my record for October 19 precedes 
the Aidin Disaster by about 15 minutes, but it follows the fourth and 
heaviest shock felt at Bouladan, at about 9h. 44m. 6s. G.M.T. 
The Cyprus shock of June 29 was recorded at Shide (see fig. 3).

Dr. Adolfo Cancani writes that the Shide records do not correspond to 
those at Rocca di Papa.

Out of these fifteen shocks, if we make an allowance of a few minutes 
in the accuracy of the times in the fourth column, then there are twelve of 
them recorded at Shide at about the times we should expect them to have 
reached that place. Two of the first three shocks which were ‘sudden’ at 
Shide took place when we might expect earth-waves to have reached that 
place from localities where there had been heavy disturbances.
