Walls coursing N. 70° W. appear to have moved

The corners of the rooms are cracked, and walls 



coursing N. E. — S. W. have moved in a direction at 



right angles to their plane.

other. Three of these crates were broken on the down-stream sido 



during the quake. The position of the break can be seen from the 



sketch (fig. 31), which represents the upper portion of the "band."

 of the current and the force due to the earthquake impulse. 



Mr. Hallowes has described some fissured railway cuttings in 

 Siwalik conglomerate a short distance from Hardwar and three miles 

 from Diowala up the valley. 



The intensity of the shock must have been much less than at 

 Intensity, direction Dehra Dun. In the city, where temples and lofty 

 of shock, etc. buildings -are numerous, hardly a trace of damage 



is to be seen. The intensity was probably between 7 and 8 of the 

 Rossi- Forel scale. Most of the evidence points to movement on a
