OTHER AREAS OUTSIDE BURMA. 

 Yunnan Province, China. 

 Mr. G. D. Smith, B.BM.'s Consul.— Eeported that the earthquake 

 was felt in Teng-yiieh, a few minutes before 

 TSng-yftah. g am ^ ^ Qote j j)V tl)c (' om i n issioner of Customs 



shortly after the shock. Two separate shocks were distinctly felt, 

 occupying perhaps a minute and a half from the beginning of the 



first to the end of the second. This Is, however, a mere guess. 

 The shocks appeared to move in an approximately N. and 8. direc- 

 tion judging from the motion imparted to water in a bath tub. 

 The first seemed to be the shorter in duration and the lesser in 

 intensity. No sound phenomena were noted, and the Consul was 

 unable "to obtain any information as to the effects of the quakes, 

 though no damage appeared to have been done. 



Mr. Roshighosi, Assistant in Charge of Customs, Chinese Customs 

 Service.— -Be did not feel the shock personally as he was out of 



doors at the time, but it was noticed by 

 Ssumaa various other people. It was divided into 3 



parts, the first was the most distinct and lasted 2 or 3 seconds. 

 The apparent direction was N.-S., as judged by the pendulum- 

 like swinging of hanging lamps. No unusual sounds were, noticed. 

 The time" is° given as 4-45 p.m., but as this is stated to be a 

 mere guess, and it was not until the middle of August that 

 Mr. Roshigliosi wrote his account, furthermore, obtaining his inform- 

 ation from Chinese sources, I am of the opinion that this may be 

 definitely stated to be a mistake. 



Bengal.

 ' perceived in the Chittagong district on May
