Nor was there any injury to the few men who happened to be near the center Of disturbance during several Of the most severe shocks. These earthquakes were attended by two notable results - great changes in the level of the land, incidental to faulting, and remarkable accompanying and subsequent changes in the adja cent glaciers. Preliminary descriptions Of certain of the changes in shore lines and in glaciers in connection with the earthquake have already been published by both the authors Of this paper, and a full description of the earthquake itself has been published by the junior author.'
