Two distinct shocks were noticeable separats by an loterval of 201; the first ode was instantaneous and the second lasted for about 8 seconds. Hence the total duration including a third shock very light did pot exceed 30 seconds. The initial movement and the direction of the maximum vibrations was from NNW. to SSE. The horizontal pen- dulums recorded some preliminary tremors for amplitude of the vertical component and the about 10 seconds, this together with the large small duration of the microseismic undulations, tended to show that the sarthquake, as either local or of very near opicentre, but later tole as obtainable, countries,
