Excerpt from Report on the Recent Seismic Disturbances Within Cheviot County in Northern Canterbury and the Amuri District of Nelson, New Zealand The above may not be an accurate epitome of the explanations determining the position of earthquakes of this sort, but it fairly represents the popular apprehension of such; and it is common enough to read that, with respect to particular shocks that have occurred, the epicentrum, as this would be located on a map of New Zealand, or a chart of the adjacent seas, was twenty miles east of Banks Peninsula, a like distance west of Greymouth, somewhere north-west of Lake Sumner, or in Cook Strait a stated distance from Stephen Island; and the depth from the surface at which the disturbance originated was ten, fifteen, or twenty miles, as the case may be.
