Abstract
IT is always interesting to look for coincidences in the earthquakes in different parts of the world. In NATURE, vol. xxxiv. p. 627, you announce that a violent earthquake was felt at Charleston and many other places in the United States of North America, on the 22nd inst. at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, i.e. 20h. 20m. Greenwich time. On the same day a very slight shock is recorded as having occurred at Neuchâtel, Switzerland, at 9h. 20m. evening, Berne time, i.e. 20h. 50m. Greenwich time. It is not impossible, but I must confess scarcely probable, that the faint shock at Neuchâtel was the re-percussion of the severe earthquake of North America.
