To the above lists it may perhaps be interesting to add a 
lew meteorological statistics, gathered from the records of 
eaithquake incidents, collected by the writer for analysis up 
to the present date. Most of the manifestations named are 
probably closely connected with the aftion of terrestrial 
electricity. It is to be understood that either shortly before 
or during, or shortly after the occurrence of shocks, these 
additional phenomena were among the attendant circum- 
stances. The number of separate earthquake cases from 
which they are gleaned amounts to 490.
