55G On the Local and Relative Geology of Singapore. [June, 



Singapore Free Press, but I presume that will form no objection to its 

 being put on record in the more permanent pages of the Journal. 



" The Casa Real of Lallo, a brick-building, and one of the most solid 

 edifices in the province, was destroyed. The rector's house was de- 

 stroyed, and the roof of the Church suffered much damage, and many 

 other of the public edifices were more or less injured. The Tribunal 

 stood it out well, and will only require a new roof. All the wooden 

 houses were levelled with the ground. None of the attap houses 

 escaped, and the greater part were blown over with many of their un- 

 happy owners in them, and their little stores of paddy. The people 

 notwithstanding, had been since occupied in repairing the serious in- 

 juries which the Renta de Tabacos had suffered, and the wages, which 

 were paid daily, served as some consolation to them in the midst of so 

 much misfortune. Five persons are reckoned to have been killed and 1 1 

 wounded. In Calamanitjgan the Church and rector's house were 

 entirely destroyed, and the priest was living in the Royal Tribunal 

 which had escaped injury, and in which he had erected an altar. The 

 wooden houses suffered more than those of Lallo. The attap houses 

 were all destroyed. The people experienced the misfortune of being

 ground, the whole of which was destroyed. Eleven persons were killed, 

 and 20 seriously injured. At Aparro the majority of the houses in 

 the district are of wood which were mostly all destroyed. The Royal 

 Tribunal, a new and solid building, was overthrown — the rector's house 

 destroyed and the Church much injured. Nearly all the wooden 

 houses were destroyed, and none of the attap ones escaped, the greater 

 part going to block up the river or into the sea, which rose into the 

 village and contributed to make the night more frightful, and to aug- 

 ment the number of victims, who amounted to 27 killed and 53 wound- 

 ed. All the harvest that had been gathered in perished, being carried 

 into the sea with the houses. The destruction of buffaloes, horses, cows, 

 and other property was excessive. In Buguey nearly all houses and 

 buildings were destroyed : — one man killed. The Convent of Abulog 

 was entirely demolished, the Church lost its roof and belfry, and nearly 

 all the houses were levelled with the ground : — 8 persons were killed. 

 To the north of this village, at the distance of 6 miles, there is a high 

 hill on the top of which dwelt a number of natives who pay allegiance
