Scientific paper

ABOUT midnight on the 4th and 5th of this month, a fairly strong earthquake occurred in the southern part of Norway. The greatest disturbance was felt in the environs of the town of Aalesund, upon the west coast (about 60° 30' lat. N.). From there the shocks extended to the region of the Trondhjems fjord, the Swedish border, and the Christiania fjold, and Berg n, but the extreme south-west part of the country seems to have been undisturbed. The earthquake is also reported from Fünen, in Denmark. The movement proceeded in about seven minutes from the west coast to Christiania (at Christian und 11h. 38m. Christiania time, 11h. 15m. Greenwich time) It is interesting to notice that the earthquake resembles one which occurred on March 9, 1866, and was felt across the North Sea at the lighthouse of Fluggarrock, on the Shelan Islands. As I am engaged in collecting data about the earthquake of this month, I should be glad to know whether it was observed in the British Isles.
