confusion anywhere over the surrounding ground. Some days 

 intervened between the shock and the time of my visit to the 

 disturbed area, and the fallen pinnacles of mosques, overturned 

 walls and broken chimneys had all been cleared away. From 

 Mandalav I obtained data which I thought might be useful. These

 making use of the figures as they are open to various objections. 



EXTRA-INDIAN SEISMOGRAPHIC RECORDS. 



The shock of May 23rd seems to have affected most of the 

 long distance seismographs in the world. Records obtained in 

 England, Scotland, Germany, Italy and America have already been 

 published and the details of time and place worked out from 

 some of them. Doubtless other reports have appeared which I 

 have not seen, for no attempt has been made to collect the 

 seismographic records from countries outside India. Although 

 of great interest to students of seismology,— who can readily 

 obtain them from the publications of foreign countries devoted to 

 the purpose,- the collection and discussion of the mass of 

 detailed figures involved is " a specialist's work in the domain of 

 geophysics," (*) and is moreover outside the scope of this account, 

 which is intended to describe only those results which belong to 

 India proper. *
