FOOTNOTES:
[21] The shaded areas indicate the principal trachytic masses, the
broken lines represent the boundaries of the craters that are still
recognisable, and the dotted lines the boundaries of the areas within
which buildings were damaged by the earthquakes of 1796, 1828, 1881,
and 1883 (according to Mercalli). The continuous curved line shows the
position of the radial fracture with which the earthquakes were
probably connected. The trachytic masses and craters are denoted by
the following tables:--
_a._ Epomeo.
_b._ Trippiti.
_c._ Vetta.
_d._ Garofoli.
_e._ Vatoliere.
_f._ Campagnano.
_g._ Vezza.
_h._ Imperatore.
_i._ C. St. Angelo.
_j._ Lo Toppo.
_k._ Marecocco.
_l._ Zale.
_m._ Rotaro.
_n._ Montagnone.
_p._ Bagno.
_q._ Tabor.
_r._ P. Castiglione.
_s._ Cremate.
_t._ Arso.
_u._ Porto d'Ischia.
[22] It is possible that Monte Campagnano may form an exception to
this statement.
[23] Shocks were felt in the island in 1559 and 1659, but one at least
was of external origin.
[24] Prof. Mercalli, from the five estimates of the angle of emergence
which he considered most reliable, found the mean depth to be about
3,280 feet.
[25] Professor de Rossi estimated the mean duration as not much
exceeding ten seconds. Dr. Johnston-Lavis, on the other hand,
considers the general estimate of fifteen seconds as far too low. In
one case, at Casamicciola, he ranks it as high as thirty-one seconds.

Dr. Johnston-Lavis.
