Abstract
THE data on which the paper has been founded have been collected from upwards of fifty stations, and special reliance may be placed on the results, as a large proportion of these stations were lighthouses, in each of which at the time of the occurrence there was a keeper on watch, the earthquake having occurred after sunset at a time when the lamps were lighted.
