half inches to nine inches according to the nature of the soil and type 
of bench mark, and continues uninterruptedly past Mirpur dak bungalow, 
Shaistaganj, and Shahaji Bazar up to a railway bridge 30 miles from 
Srima gal near telegraph post No. 149-14 which shows practically no al- 
teration in height (see table below). Thereafter settlement is occasional 
but very small to Kamalasagar, beyond which no appreciable disturbance 
has taken place. The bench marks that have settled include two of the 
embedded type, but unfortunately none on rock, which is situated some 
distance beneath the alluvial soil. 
Comparing results with plate 11 of the Report in the Geological Survey 
of India Records, as far as can be ascertained, no settlement took place 
in the epicentral area of north east of the epicentral axis, but in the area 
between the epicentral area and Isoseist No. 2, west south west of the former, 
settlement up to nine inches occurred. Those bench marks situated on masonry 
above gi'ound have generally been disturbed more than those embedded 
in the soil, the latter, however, show distinct settlement. 
The following table shows the bench marks disturbed in the aiea between 
Kamaichara and the railway bridge near telegraph post No. 149-14 mentioned 
above ": —
