362 MIDDLEMISS : KANGRA EARTHQUAKE 



From the 15th to the 23rd it would seem that the aftershock area 

 shifted towards the east and south-east into Kulu and the Mussoorie 

 region. A few shocks noted from Baluchistan and Chitral about the 

 same time being obviously not directly related phenomena. 



On May 3rd prominent aftershocks were first noticed by the author 

 in the epicentral area near Palampur (I had been on the ground since 

 12th April) accompanied by landslides in the Neogal gorge, but none 

 of these coincided with shocks reported elsewhere except at Dharmsala. 



For the latter part of May up to the 28th the records available are 

 principally from Kulu, after which an Agamennone seismoscope set up in 

 Simla by the Director of the Geological Survey begins to record, some- 

 times coinciding with the Kulu records, but very frequently only mark- 

 ing local aftershocks in the Simla area. Thus we may perhaps correlate 

 the shock on May 30th at 2 a.m. in Kulu with that on the same day 

 at Simla at 2-1.8. Also the one on June 10th at 1-20 a.m. at Simla 

 and 2 am. at Naggar (Kulu) said at the latter place to have been very 

 severe. Also the one on June 14th, about 3 a.m. at Mussoorie and 

 Naggar. 



On June 27th, we may correlate the 6-15 p.m. smart shock at 

 Mussoorie with the 6-17 p.m. one at Sinda, felt generally and by the 

 author in the Town Hall which rocked endwise with a slow motion, 

 and possibly with the 6-28 p.m. one at Dehra Dun. 



From then on to July 26th there is not much to note in the list 

 beyond records from Dras and Skardu (probably local shocks) and the 

 general agreement of the Agamennone seismoscope and the Omori 

 seismograph (from that time also installed at Simla by the Meteorological 

 Department). 



The shock of July 26th was felt at Dehra Dun, Mussoorie, Simla, 

 Dharmsala and Ferozepore. At the first place it is described as the 

 severest since the big shock, at Mussoorie it roused the station, at 

 Simla many people rushed out of their houses, at Dharmsala it was 

 smart, whilst at Ferozepore there wat, a rumbling noise from the north- 

 east, many people were disturbed and walls and roofs, etc., shook. From 

 the absence of any reference from Kulu it would seem that the shock
