PARTS OF INDIA NOT VISITED BY GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. 179 



CHAPTER IV 



REMAINING PARTS OF INDIA NOT VISITED BY THE 

 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. 



For this vast area, which the officers of the Geological Survey were 

 unable to examine, the earthquake forms furnish the only evidence. 

 The particular arrangement of these that has seemed the most suitable 

 is generally one by districts, and the order in which the latter are 

 taken is shown by the following groups, which disregarding the pro- 

 vinces in which they may occur, sweep round the epicentral area from 

 N. W. to S. E. That is to say — each group of districts begins at the 

 N. W. end of the epicentral area, sweeps round in a curve and finishes 

 at the S.E. of the epicentral area. The groups follow each other con- 

 centrically, embracing successively areas further and further away from 

 the epicentrum. In the case of areas very far away from that region, 

 from which only a few records have been received, larger group units 

 are however adopted, such as Baluchistan, Central India, Burma, etc. 

 As explained in the Introduction, it has been found impossible to 

 quote all the earthquake form reports. In each district or group unit 

 the localities are arranged alphabetically.
