February, 1918.] Annual Address. Xxi 
A considerable amount of information is available as to 
ing the distribution of what he terms “ seismicity ’’ in India. 
Since his paper was published, we have continued to collect 
additional information in this country. Towards the end of 
1908, arrangements were made by the Meteorological Reporter 
to the Government of India for earthquakes felt by the obser- 
vers at his meteorological recording stations to be registered, 
and returns sent both to him and to the Geological Survey. 
The returns comprise only shocks alleged to have been felt by 
observers, and do not include shocks too slight to be recorded 
except by instruments. The returns are drawn up in the 
following form :— 
1. Date of earthquake 
2. Time of occurrence ; if possible, exact 
ime 
standard time. 
3. Duration of shock in seconds 
4. Situation of observer, whether in or 
out of doors, asleep or awake, sit-_ 
ting or standing, ete.
