Time of occurrence, 22h. 36 m.: Intensity, VI. Epicentrum about two miles N.N.E. of Bolton, half a mile west of the village of Bradshaw.
This interesting earthquake affected a district for the most part thickly populated, and the accounts of it are consequently numerous. In the newspapers mentioned below, records are given of observations from 156 towns and villages, situated within a nearly circular area about 55 miles in diameter. Considering the smallness of this area, I suppose that but few previous earthquakes have afforded materials so abundant for the seismologist.
The Map will appear with Part III. in the August Number GEOL. MAG.—EDIT. GEOL. MAG.
