As each of the simultaneous equations is more orless inaccurate, different results are obtained by combiningthem in different ways, and I found, after many attempts, thatthese results for velocity of transit and depth of centrum wereso discordant that I lost all confidence in them. The methodis a very good one when the data are sufficiently accurate ; butit is not adapted for#obtaining the most probable result from amass of incorrect data. We have seen that the effects of the shock were mostsevere in the neighbourhood of Glynn Wye, so that probablythe angle of emergence was here between 45° and 55°, and this,with the epicentrum situated sixteen miles away, would givethe depth of the centrum between sixteen and twenty-threemiles.
