an exhaustive or abstrusely scientific treatment of the subject. Accurate 

 details concerning so large an area are not within the reach of every one 

 to collect, and I have had a little difficulty in learning even so much as I 

 have put together. Some of this information has been derived from per- 

 sonal observation, some from the accounts given by friends or acquaintances, 

 and some from the reports in the " Pioneer" newspaper, and " Civil and 

 Military Gazette." 



It may be as well to give the localities from which information has 

 been received in the form of a list, with the hour of the shock, where known, 

 reduced to Madras time,* and the duration of the earth-movement, opposite.

* Where the time of the place is unknown to be that of Madras, or the reduction 

 thus rendered doubtful, a note of interrogation is inserted. 



t Madras time according to Frontier authorities is 23 minutes faster than the 

 local time kept, by which Station guns arc fired.
