MIDDLEMISS : KANGRA EARTHQUAKE. 



Here the large difference of 40 minutes between the earliest and 

 latest recorded times is an impossible condition, even in a large country- 

 like Kashmir : for we know sufficiently well that 5-50 is far too early 

 even in the most epicentral area, and 6-30 is far too late, being 

 long behind the most distant effects as recorded by level tubes 

 and water movements on the very confines of the hardly felt shock.
