season. Owing to the same cause the volume of water in the three 

 streams : Deigaon Sot (Dechauri Range), Tilaur Sot and Nehal N. (Fateh- 

 pur Range) has been increased by about three limes." 



The Postmaster at Srinagar (Garhwal) (seep. 186) reported the 



Ganges " stopped during the earthquake." At Sri- 



Ganges, Jhelum Kashmir, Mr. B.Thornhill, Chief Engineer, 



and Indus. 8 ' ' . 



Kashmir Railway Survey, noticed a wave or swirl of 

 water coming down the river from his house-boat (see p. 191). At 

 Kalabagh the waters of the Indus were "disturbed and ran up the 

 banks." 



At Gorakpur on the Kapti river a tidal wave was observed and it left- 

 its marks on the river banks. Also at the Ami river 

 Kapti an 1 ^ e water in bridge-foundation wells was much agt-

tated, spilling the water over the tops. 



Among all these effects on canals and large rivers, the first at Bhimpur 

 on the Bari Doab stands out as the most significant, as should be the 

 case considering its proximity to the epicentre and to the point where 

 thick alluvium, capable of generating long undulose movements., first 

 makes its appearance. 



Effects on Springs. 



In the descriptive part of this memoir a number of instances of the 

 effects of the earthquake on springs have been adduced. Among them 

 may be mentioned those of Jawalamukhi (p. 4.0), Mariikarh 

 (p. 63) and Manali (p. 76). It is not easy to draw any hard- 

 and-fast line between springs and torrential streams, as regards the 

 effects of the quake upon them, inasmuch as the former supply the 

 latter, but it is natural that anything that tends to Open up, seal, or 

 alter the flow of underground percolation will also have a very similar 

 effect on the streams which are fed by such springs. Generally, as 

 would be expected, the effect is to open up by shaking, with the result 

 that there is a greater supply for the time being.
