 „ „ 17th. — SiBsiGUR. — Very sharp shock ; movement slight and undula- 



8 p.m. tory, followed by a violent blow ; seems to have come from 



south-west or west. — Ibid. 

 ,, „ 17th.— Baird Smith, in his Register of Earthquakes for 1843 (Jour. 



Asiat. Soc, Beng., xiv., 605, et. seq.) gives, on the authority 

 of Mr. Masters and an anonymous correspondent, an 

 earthquake on the evening of the 16th of June, which is 

 said to have been the most severe noticed in Assam by the 

 observer. As it is impossible to suppose that Captain 

 Harvey could have failed to observe this, we must conclude 

 that either Captain Harvey or Mr. Masters and the anony- 

 mous correspondent have made an error in the date.
