  These 
  four 
  stations 
  are 
  the 
  only 
  ones 
  in 
  Western 
  India 
  from 
  which 
  

   the 
  returns 
  have 
  any 
  pretension 
  to 
  accuracy. 
  They 
  are 
  interesting 
  

   for 
  comparison 
  with 
  the 
  Bombay 
  records. 
  

  

  To 
  the 
  south 
  there 
  are 
  two 
  isolated 
  stations 
  whose 
  records 
  could 
  

   not 
  be 
  advantageously 
  combined 
  with 
  the 
  above. 
  

  

  Kharagpur

  53 
  miles 
  from, 
  on 
  Sini-Midnapur 
  Railway. 
  Mr. 
  C. 
  R. 
  

   Duggan, 
  Engineer 
  in 
  charge 
  orthis 
  district, 
  writes: 
  — 
  

  

  "The 
  vibrations 
  were 
  distinctly 
  felt 
  for 
  the 
  first 
  time 
  at 
  16-29, 
  Madras 
  time, 
  the 
  

   time 
  being 
  taken 
  by 
  my 
  watch, 
  which 
  could 
  not 
  be 
  more 
  than 
  a 
  minute 
  wrong, 
  as 
  

   it 
  is 
  frequently 
  checked 
  by 
  the 
  Railway 
  clock 
  in 
  the 
  Telegraph 
  office. 
  The 
  

   movements 
  ceased 
  at 
  16 
  hours 
  31 
  minutes 
  15 
  seconds." 
  

  

  Bezwada. 
  — 
  East 
  Coast 
  Railway 
  : 
  commenced 
  16-29, 
  ended 
  1631. 
  

  

  The 
  time 
  records 
  received 
  from 
  Burma 
  are 
  extremely 
  imperfect. 
  

   The 
  returns 
  from 
  the 
  Station 
  Masters 
  not 
  only 
  exhibit 
  the 
  same 
  

   irregularity 
  that 
  is 
  observable 
  in 
  those 
  from 
  the 
  branch 
  and 
  smaller 
  

   lines 
  in 
  India, 
  but 
  there 
  is 
  besides 
  a 
  constant 
  error, 
  running 
  through 
  

   the 
  whole 
  of 
  them, 
  which 
  can 
  only 
  be 
  explained 
  by 
  supposing 
  that 
  

   there 
  was 
  an 
  error, 
  apart 
  from 
  that 
  referred 
  to 
  below, 
  in 
  the 
  time 
  

   used 
  by 
  the 
  Railway 
  administration 
  and 
  supposed 
  by 
  them 
  to 
  

   represent 
  Madras 
  time.

  the 
  returns
