We have here well-defined maxima for Shide, Kew, Toronto, and 
Victoria. The latter place was reached first, whilst at intervals of 2, 29, 
and 36 minutes, Toronto, Kew and Shide, and Nicolaiew and Potsdam 
were reached. These data lead to the conclusion that the origin was in 
the Pacific, at no great distance from the coast of Central America. 
No, 249, January 22. Origin, Greece.

This earthquake originated in Greece, and is described in the Daily 
Telegraph of January 23 as follows :-— 
‘Athens, Sunday. 
‘A severe earthquake shock was felt in several parts of the Peloponnesus early 
this morning. ‘The shock was most violent in the departments of Philiatra, in the 
province of Messinia, and Kyparrisia, in the province of Laconia, the two most fertile 
and beautiful districts of the peninsula. Several villages are completely destroyed, 
and in the towns practically every house is uninhabitable. 
‘The loss of life would have been very great had not the majority of the inhabit- 
ants, warned by the first shocks, left their houses in the early morning, and camped 
in the open plains and fields. A great many, however, have been injured, and 
several are killed, though it is impossible at present to state the exact number. 
‘The people, panic-stricken, have been in the fields all to-day, and are in a dis- 
tressing condition. 
‘The greatest efforts must be made to give them the urgent succour which is 
necessary.— Central Ners.’
