  Reports 
  of 
  officers 
  of 
  the 
  Geological 
  Survey 
  of 
  India 
  despatched 
  

   to 
  investigate 
  the 
  effects 
  of 
  the 
  earthquake. 
  

  

  This 
  appendix 
  contains, 
  with 
  unimportant 
  omissions, 
  all 
  those 
  

   parts 
  of 
  the 
  reports, 
  referred 
  to 
  on 
  p. 
  2, 
  which 
  have 
  not 
  been 
  in- 
  

   corporated 
  in 
  the 
  body 
  of 
  the 
  text. 
  They 
  were 
  drawn 
  up 
  under 
  specific 
  

   instructions 
  to 
  report 
  only 
  the 
  facts 
  observed, 
  and 
  to 
  refrain 
  from 
  

   any 
  expression 
  of 
  opinion 
  as 
  to 
  the 
  conclusions 
  to 
  be 
  drawn, 
  as 
  this 
  

   could 
  only 
  be 
  profitably 
  done 
  after 
  a 
  review 
  of 
  the 
  whole 
  of 
  the 
  facts, 
  

   of 
  which 
  only 
  part 
  could 
  become 
  known 
  to 
  each 
  individually.

  including 
  a 
  

  

  conical 
  stone 
  cap 
  which 
  formed 
  the 
  summit 
  of 
  the 
  obelisk,

  now 
  lying 
  at 
  the 
  

  

  foot 
  of 
  the

  The 
  brickwork 
  in 
  falling 
  from 
  the 
  top 
  has 
  struck 
  and 
  broken 
  off 
  the 
  edge 
  of 
  

   the 
  cornice 
  running 
  round 
  the 
  top 
  of 
  the 
  pedestal 
  over 
  the 
  south-west 
  side, 
  rather 
  

   to 
  the 
  west 
  of 
  the 
  centre, 
  the 
  mean 
  direction 
  of 
  the 
  break, 
  measured 
  from 
  the 
  

   centre 
  of 
  the 
  obelisk, 
  being 
  S 
  20° 
  W. 
  The 
  stone 
  cap 
  struck 
  the 
  cornice 
  still 
  

   further 
  to 
  the 
  west, 
  and 
  made 
  a 
  separate 
  fracture, 
  the 
  direction 
  of 
  this 
  from 
  the 
  

   centre 
  being 
  S 
  53 
  W. 
  As 
  the 
  stone 
  cap 
  was, 
  however, 
  fixed 
  to 
  the 
  monu- 
  

   ment 
  by 
  an 
  iron 
  pin, 
  it 
  is 
  likely 
  that 
  the 
  latter, 
  striking 
  against 
  the 
  sides 
  of 
  the 
  

   monument, 
  caused 
  the 
  cap 
  to 
  be 
  deflected 
  in 
  its 
  descent, 
  and 
  the 
  fracture 
  caused 
  

   by 
  the 
  brickwork 
  probably 
  represents 
  more 
  nearly 
  the 
  actual 
  direction 
  of 
  the 
  

   shock. 
  

  

  This 
  monument
