Abstract
IN NATURE for September 26 it is stated that the recent Inverness earthquake was not felt in Edinburgh or Glasgow, and apparently the Milne seismograph at the Royal Observatory in the former city gave no indication of any movement. The shock, however, was distinctly felt in Paisley, a few miles west of Glasgow. There are in the Coats Observatory here two seismographs. One of these is a Milne, and it gave no record; but the other, which is Prof. Ewing's, marked the occurrence of the shock. The time as nearly as could be ascertained was lb. 21m. 35s. The lateral movement was very slight.
