THE greatest shock ever recorded by the Riverview Observatory, Australia, was registered by seismographs throughout the world about 10.6 p.m. G.M.T. on November 27. The epicentre may have been near lat. 24° N., long. 64·5° E., about 180 miles from Karachi in the Arabian Sea. The Times correspondent at Delhi suggests it may have been near the double ridge which encloses an 8,000-ft. deep gully on the bed of the Arabian Sea. The ridge was first plotted by the John Murray Expedition of 1933–34 and is probably a continuation of the Kirthars Range between Sind and Baluchistan. Mr. E. W. Pollard, in the Isle of Wight, recorded the earthquake at 22h. 06m. 24s. G.M.T.
