This earthquake had its centre in Central Japan, but until the time of 
its origin is more definitely known its complete discussion is impossible. 
The Japan Mail of March 11 gives the following description of the 
occurrence :— 
‘The earthquake on the 7th instant belongs to the category of serious 
shocks. Our daily life in this country is perpetually disturbed by 
tremblings and shakings, which become at last so familiar that we scarcely 
notice them. Yet not a few of these ugly visitors fall short of calamitous 
dimensions by only a narrow margin, and the unconcern with which we 
receive them is simply the result of habit. Apparently the centre of dis- 
turbance on the 7th instant was somewhere in the vicinity of Osaka.
