106 MIDDLEM1SS: KANGRA EARTHQUAKE. 



howevei, pointed out to me by Mr. Keatinge, the Secretary to the 

 Municipality. In no case was vertical displacement involved. 



(1) Crack on the Mall in front of Messrs. Bevan's music shop. 

 Said to have followed the centre of the road for 100 feet 

 on a course S. 60° E. The rock hereabouts is far from 

 homogeneous. In the excavation for the foundations of 

 the houses numerous clay-filled fissures are said to have 

 been met with. 

 2) On the Camel's Back road, the small terraced pro- 

 montory known as Scandal Point displays a number of 

 cracks. This terrace is largely of "made ground.' * The 

 fissures are only to be found in the " filling, " and do not 

 traverse the rock. 



(3) On the north of Camel's Hump a crack is said to have opened 



out about 4 feet from the outer edge of the road, and to 

 have run parallel with the edge for 125 feet on a course 

 N. 85° W. The width of this crack was about ■ 2 inches, 

 and the depth exceeded three feet six inches. 



(4) On the Mall, just above " The Dingo," a crack, 50 feet in 



length, 3 inches wide, and exceeding 3 i feet in depth, opened 

 up on a line approximately parallel to the edge of the road. 

 Owing to there being a curve at this point the distance 

 of the crack from the edge of the road varies from 4 to 

 12 feet. The road is flanked by a retaining wall perhaps 

 12 feet wide. 



(5) On the Mall below the Kacheri. This crack is said to have 



been 150 feet long and half-an-inch wide. It ran along 

 the road about 20 feet from the edge, and 6 feet from the 

 wall of the cutting. 



(6) The cracks in Landour bazar have already 'been referred to. 



They are several in number and from 0" to 3" wide. They 

 do not pass through the road, and are probably confined 

 to " made ground " held by retaining walls.
