The figures denote the days of the month on which one or more shocks were felt. 

 Those with an asterisk affixed were described as smart ; those with a dagger as severe 

 shocks. The remainder were only slight tremours, and no doubt escaped record at most 

 stations, there being no instrumental means employed for their detection. This table is 

 therefore not reUable so far as indicating the geographical distribution of the shocks.
