The tigures denote the daj^s of the month on whicli one or more sheets -were felt. 

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

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

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

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