Abstract
ANOTHER note relative to these phenomena:—“August 20, 1861.—Earthquake at Naples. At Castellamare the water is so discoloured, that although the calm has been complete, we fear some subterranean perturbation. The heat is intense. At the same time the atmosphere presented a very peculiar appearance. There are no clouds, and during the whole week a thick mist has enveloped the city and coast, and the sun when setting is as red as blood.”—(Moniteur du 29 Août, 1861.)
