  pyramidal 
  stone 
  measuring 
  about 
  i 
  foot 
  on 
  sides, 
  had 
  been 
  carried 
  from 
  the 
  position 
  

   in 
  which 
  it 
  fell 
  before 
  I 
  saw 
  it, 
  but 
  I 
  was 
  able 
  to 
  identify 
  four 
  of 
  the 
  blocks 
  immediately 
  

   beneath 
  this, 
  and 
  the 
  positions 
  in 
  which 
  they 
  fell 
  are 
  shown 
  in 
  the 
  plan. 
  The 
  

   three 
  blocks 
  seen 
  in 
  the 
  sketch 
  on 
  the 
  top 
  of 
  the 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  pedestal 
  still 
  

   standing 
  are 
  twisted 
  slightly 
  towards 
  the 
  east.

  The 
  large 
  bridge 
  on 
  the 
  Gauhati 
  Road 
  about 
  i| 
  miles 
  from 
  Shillong, 
  over 
  the 
  

  

  Umkra 
  river, 
  has 
  suffered 
  severely. 
  The 
  abutment 
  on 
  the 
  

   Ro 
  B 
  ad 
  dgeS 
  ° 
  n 
  Gauhati 
  south-east 
  side 
  fell 
  entirely, 
  carrying 
  the 
  girders 
  with 
  it. 
  

  

  The 
  two 
  piers 
  and 
  the 
  abutment 
  on 
  the 
  north-west 
  side, 
  

   which 
  are 
  of 
  more 
  recent 
  construction, 
  remained 
  standing, 
  though 
  somewhat 
  

   cracked. 
  It 
  appears 
  that 
  the 
  piers 
  were 
  recently 
  widened 
  and 
  that 
  the 
  vertical 
  

   cracks 
  near 
  the 
  lower 
  sides 
  of 
  them 
  occurred 
  at 
  the 
  junction 
  of 
  the 
  newer 
  and 
  older 
  

   masonry.

  Numerous 
  landslips 
  have 
  occurred 
  along 
  the 
  steep 
  hill 
  sides 
  between 
  

   Landslips, 
  Shillong 
  and 
  the 
  crossing 
  of

  river,

  At 
  the 
  Bishop's 
  Fall, 
  about 
  2 
  miles 
  

  

  from 
  Shillong, 
  the 
  precipitous 
  cliff 
  on 
  the 
  right 
  of 
  the 
  fall, 
  down 
  which 
  the 
  path 
  

   was 
  carried, 
  slipped 
  down 
  entirely 
  into 
  the 
  basin 
  at 
  the 
  foot 
  of 
  the 
  fall. 
  The 
  crest 
  

   cf 
  the 
  fall 
  was 
  not 
  affected, 
  as 
  it 
  is 
  formed 
  by 
  a 
  strong 
  dyke 
  of 
  diorite. 
  The 
  nearly 
  

   vertical 
  quartzites 
  have 
  been 
  shaken 
  away 
  from 
  this 
  dyke. 
  Some 
  fine 
  slips 
  

   are 
  seen 
  on 
  the 
  hillside 
  facing 
  the 
  fall. 
  A 
  view 
  of 
  these

  At 
  the 
  Khasia 
  Bazar 
  at 
  Maokhar, 
  just 
  outside 
  Shillong 
  on 
  the 
  Gauhati 
  

   Kha 
  ia 
  noliths 
  road, 
  was 
  a 
  collection 
  of 
  the 
  large 
  monoliths 
  of 
  quartzite 
  

  

  set 
  up 
  in 
  former 
  times 
  by 
  the 
  Khasias 
  as 
  ancestral 
  

   memorials. 
  Several 
  of 
  these 
  have 
  fallen, 
  the 
  majority 
  between 
  W 
  and 
  S

   but 
  one 
  or 
  two 
  have 
  fallen 
  due

  Some 
  of 
  them 
  are 
  broken 
  through 
  at

   level

  At

  at 
  Maophlang, 
  14 
  miles 
  to 
  the 
  south- 
  

   west 
  of 
  Shillong, 
  there 
  were 
  four 
  large 
  monoliths 
  in 
  a 
  line 
  running 
  W.

  of 
  these 
  have 
  fallen, 
  both

  One 
  of 
  these 
  was 
  20 
  feet 
  high 
  by 
  4 
  feet 
  3 
  inches

  and 
  9 
  inches 
  thick 
  at 
  the 
  base, 
  slightly 
  tapering 
  towards 
  the 
  top. 
  This 
  has 
  broken 
  

  

  off 
  at 
  2 
  feet 
  from 
  the 
  ground. 
  The 
  other 
  was 
  14 
  feet 
  high 
  and 
  has 
  broken 
  off 
  

  

  at 
  ground

  Mr. 
  Evans, 
  the 
  Missionary 
  at 
  Maophlang, 
  informed 
  me 
  that 
  soon 
  after 
  

   R 
  , 
  , 
  the 
  earthquake 
  his 
  attention 
  was 
  called 
  by 
  one 
  of 
  his 
  

  

  level 
  in 
  hills. 
  converts, 
  a 
  Khasia, 
  to 
  the 
  aspect 
  of 
  the 
  hill 
  immediately 
  to 
  

  

  the 
  west 
  of 
  the 
  village. 
  These 
  hills 
  are 
  separated 
  from 
  

   that 
  on 
  which 
  Maophlang 
  stands 
  by 
  a 
  deep 
  valley, 
  through 
  which 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  

   tributaries 
  of 
  the 
  Bogapani 
  runs. 
  It 
  appeared 
  to 
  them 
  that 
  beyond 
  the 
  hill 
  on 
  the 
  

   west 
  side 
  of 
  this 
  valley 
  they 
  could 
  see 
  more 
  of 
  the 
  distant 
  hills 
  than 
  before, 
  and 
  they 
  

   came 
  to 
  the 
  conclusion 
  that 
  the 
  intermediate 
  range 
  of 
  hills 
  had 
  subsided. 
  The 
  

   furthest 
  peaks 
  they 
  can 
  see 
  from 
  Maophlang 
  are 
  some 
  four 
  or 
  five 
  miles 
  distant. 
  Of 
  

   course 
  an 
  elevation 
  of 
  the 
  more 
  distant 
  hills, 
  or 
  of 
  that 
  on 
  which 
  they 
  were 
  standing, 
  

   would 
  produce 
  the 
  same 
  apparent 
  effect 
  as 
  a 
  subsidence 
  of 
  the 
  intermediate 
  hills
