Miscellaneous Concluding Observations. 197
Direction No. II. Birch and Layer-de-la-Haye. — No. 10
indicates a movement more or less E.-W., but not sufficiently
definite. No. 11 (lamp swing) indicates more distinctly
E.-W. movement.
Direction taken:—E.-W.
No. 12. Directions not sufficiently definite.
Direction No. III. Peldon. — Line of projection (No. 13),
W.N.W.-E.S.E.
Direction taken:—W. 22° N.-E. 22° S.
No. 14 bears no reference to position of main axis. No. 15,
mullion and chimneys probably cases of mere overthrow.
Direction No. IV. West Mersea.—Cracks in ground (No. 15)
assumed to have opened at right angles to line of propa-
gation.
Direction taken :—N.-S.
Nos. 16, 17, and 18 not sufficiently definite ; No. 18 much
confused by reflexion. No. 19 prolonged falls quite outside
area of damage, intersecting Direction No. I. just off Foulness
and Direction No. IV. about two miles S.E. of Dengey ; both
these positions improbable for epicentrum.
Direction No. V. Chelmsford.—Of No. 20 observations the
rocking of the bundle of linen the most weighty. Passes
through Abberton.
Direction taken :—N. 22° E.-S. 22° W.
No. 21, no observation of sufficient weight. In No. 22 the
milk apparently oscillated at right angles to probable line of
propagation (? transverse vibrations). No. 23 (taken as
N.E.-S.W.) intersects Direction No. I. at Colchester; this
position for epicentrum improbable. No. 24 bears no relation
to main axis.
Direction No. VI. Felstead. — No. 25 intersects Direction
No. I. between E. and W. Donyland, and then passes through
Wivenhoe (? reflected wave from that place).
Direction taken :—E.-W.
No. 26 intersects Direction No. VI. near Little Birch; im-
probable epicentrum.
Direction No. VII. Heybridge.—No. 27, observation of great
weight; intersects Directions Nos. I. and IV. on each side of
the Strood.
Direction taken:—E. 22.5° N.-W. 22.5° S.
Direction No. VIII. Little Waltham. — No. 28 intersects
Directions Nos. I. and IV. at West Mersea.
The direction given by the swinging picture, E.-W., taken.
Nos. 29 and 31 fall completely away from area of damage.
No. 30 nearly at right angles to probable line of propagation
(? transverse vibrations).
