(1) Sir Hans Sloane’s account consisting of (_a_) “An account ... which I wrote myself being present in it.” (_b_) “Extract from a letter from one in Jamaica who was in the terrible earthquake.” (_c_) “Extract of a letter ... giving an account of the sickness that followed the earthquake.” (_d_) “Part of a letter ... giving a further account from another hand.” (_e_) “Part of another from the same hand.” (_f_) “Part of a letter from a gentleman in Jamaica ... not being present in the earthquake ... very curious.” (2) Notes by Mr. Maxwell Hall on an article by Colonel A. B. Ellis in “Popular Science Monthly” for 1892.

Mr. Smith ... 1745.” (5) “The Truest and Largest account of the earthquake in Jamaica ... written by a Reverend Divine there to his friend in London ... 1693,” a copy of which is in the West India Library in the Institute. The letter is dated “Withy Wood in the parish of Vere,” and it is possible that the “Reverend Divine” was Thomas Hardwicke, who was appointed Rector of Vere by the Earl of Carlisle.

London, 1693.” In addition to all these there is a letter sent home by the Council to the Lords of Plantations, which is given in an abbreviated form in the “Calendar of State Papers (Colonial Series)—America and West Indies—1689–1692.” The following is copied in extenso from the manuscript Council minutes in the Colonial Secretary’s office, Jamaica, a manuscript copy of which is in the Library of the Institute:
