Abstract
A SEVERE earthquake just before noon G.M.T. on June 26 had its epicentre near the Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal, north–west of Sumatra. It is not yet known how many casualties or how much damage was caused, but only twelve of these British governed islands are inhabited. The amplitudes caused by the earthquake on the seismographs throughout the world were comparable to those caused by the Quetta and Turkish earthquakes.
