Abstract
On the evening of Thursday, May 30, a considerable seismic disturbance was noticed over the English Channel and in the neighbouring districts. Its area cannot yet be precisely determined. It seems to have been felt most strongly in the Channel Islands, but it was also very distinctly noticed over wide districts in the south of England and the north of France. We bring together various facts relating to the earthquake, some of which have been communicated to us by correspondents.
