Abstract
AT about 1.30 p.m. on December 29, a very slight earthquake, accompanied by a rumbling sound, was felt in the east of Kent. The villages in which it was observed (Adisham, Nonington, Snowdown, etc.) are close to the centre of the area disturbed by the much stronger Canterbury earthquake of November 27, 1776, that was felt with some intensity (about 6, Rossi-Forel scale) at Canterbury, Sandwich, Deal, Dover, Folkestone and Ashford, and, though very slightly, at Calais, thirty-four miles from the centre.
