Earthquakes in Norway. 
Three papers. 
Alne first paper report upon the earthquakes felt in Norway 
during the year 1894. Three were rather considerable for Nor- 
wegian earthquakes, two the 23rd of July and the 30th of Oc- 
tober were felt in the province of Nordland, the third 6th 
Oct. on the coast to the North o Stavanger. The rest 14 in 
number were unimportant. 
The second paper treats of the earthquake of 5th February 
1895. This earthquake was felt between 12.40 and 12.45 in 
the night in the whole country with exception of the most 
Southerly and the most Northerly part. The movement began 
in the inner parts of the province of Nordre Bergenhus, the 
Sendmør-region and the parishes of Vaage and Lom. The force 
there is stated to be as 5 after the Italian—Swiss—scale. Many 
persons report, that there have been two movements with å short 
interval; the same is also stated from many localities farther 
off, Most people have conceived the movement as undulatery. 
In the central-region å rolling noise was heard; this was not. 
So developed in other parts. The noise was always contempo- 
rary with the movement. The duration of the shaking was pro- 
bably between 1 a minute and 1 minute, the noise lasted å 
little longer. The velocity of propagation may be stated to 
about 50 km in the minute.
