  The 
  figures 
  denote 
  the 
  days 
  of 
  the 
  month 
  on 
  which 
  one 
  or 
  more 
  shocks 
  were 
  felt. 
  

   Those 
  with 
  an 
  asterisk 
  affixed 
  were 
  described 
  as 
  smart 
  ; 
  those 
  with 
  a 
  dagger 
  as 
  severe 
  

   shocks. 
  The 
  remainder 
  were 
  only 
  slight 
  tremours, 
  and 
  no 
  doubt 
  escaped 
  record 
  at 
  most 
  

   stations, 
  there 
  being 
  no 
  instrumental 
  means 
  employed 
  for 
  their 
  detection. 
  This 
  table 
  is 
  

   therefore 
  not 
  reUable 
  so 
  far 
  as 
  indicating 
  the 
  geographical 
  distribution 
  of 
  the 
  shocks.
