PARTS OF INDIA NOT VISITED BY GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. 259 



Segowlie. — Hari Das Guin. Sub -Postmaster. Indoors. Time 

 6-30 a.m. (guessed). It was slightly felt by a feeling as if the brain 

 were whirling for about 20 seconds. Water in tank slightly moved. 



Cuttack District. 



Cuttack. — Nagendra Nath Mitra, District Engineer. He was indoors 

 sitting. Time 6 a.m. (guessed). There was, first, a slight prelim, tremor 

 noticed by doors moving, and, second, 2 main shocks at intervals of 10 

 seconds, the second shock being the more intense. Direction N. — S. by 

 doors [not a trustworthy observation]. It was distinctly felt. " If 

 there had been a little more I would probably have tumbled down from 

 chair." 



Jobra. — Mrs. M. Marchant. She was sitting indoors. Time about 

 6-45 a.m. Two shocks. Only very slight to-and-fro movements. There was 

 no interval between the shocks but a difference of direction, 1st, N. — S. 

 and afterwards N.W. — S.E. No trem. vibrations before or after. 

 Duration about 1 minute. The shocks were distinctly felt by herself and 

 by friends living some distance away. A glass of water placed on table 

 gave the direction. The servants noticed the tops of mango trees sway- 

 ing about 40 yards away. [Note by Telegraph Master. — " The shock 

 was not felt by others in the station."] 



False Point Lighthouse. — Biswanath Singh, Flagman, Government 

 Telegraph Department. He was indoors seated. Time 6-30 a.m. (light- 

 house time, which is 26 minutes in advance of Madras firne) [this 

 seems too early]. There was 1 shock only which was hardly felt by 

 the flagman where he was seated, but the look-out shouted from above 

 asking whether it was felt below. The flagman then noticed that the 

 lightning conductor above the lighthouse was swaying as if some one 

 were shaking it. 



Darbhanga District. 



Darbhanga. — Jogin Chancier Bannerjee, Hospital Clerk. He was 

 indoors sitting. Time about 6 a.m. (guessed). There were 2 shocks 

 lasting 4 seconds. Hardly felt.
