III.—On some Minor British Earthquakes of the Years 1893–1899
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
During the seven years 1893–1899, 42 earthquakes have been felt in Great Britain—28 in England and Wales and 14 in Scotland. All of the latter number visited areas which are thinly populated, and it has therefore been impossible to draw the boundaries with the accuracy that is to be desired. In the English earthquakes this difficulty is seldom encountered, and the failures are generally due to the confusion caused by the rather rapid succession of the shocks.
