Abstract
A GREAT earthquake was recorded on the night of November 20 at West Bromwich, Kew and other observatories. The first tremors reached Kew at llh. 38m. 24s., p.m., and the disturbance registered there was of an intensity that is reached only about ten times a year. The record shows that the epicentre lay about 2,400 miles north-north-west of Kew, in Baffin Bay, and this determination is supported by records at Bombay (distant 5,700 miles) and in the Canadian observatories.
