PROCEEDINGS OF THE
phenomenon of this sort, of which I could obtain any information u-n
said to have happened about one hundred years ago, when, as my i n
formant assured me, an entire hill, with men and camels on it, disap
peared into the sea. I imagine this must have been a landslip caused
by some sub-marine disturbance. The spot was pointed out to me, and
is known by the name Has Koocheree on the chart.
4. On one occasion, about twelve months ago, when coming mt 0
Kurrachee from Guadur in the gun-boat Clyde, w r e passed through
many miles of sea literally covered with bodies of dead fish of every
size and description. At the time I felt confident that these fish had
been destroyed by some sub-marine volcano emitting noxious and
deadly gases, for there was a most unpleasant smell and a large emission
of gas from the mud volcanoes on shore. But these are circumstances
on which I can merely venture to offer an opinion. One practical
conclusion, however, would appear to suggest itself, namely, that the
unsettled state of the crust of the earth along this coast, and which I
believe extends far out to sea, may have some bearing on the security
of the cable.
I have the honour to be, &c ,
H. I. Walton, Director,
Mekran Coast and Sub-Marine Telegraph.
I he Acting Secretary then read his Paper, “Notes on the recent
Earthquake in the North-western part of the Bombay Presidency”
announced for the evening, and illustrated the incidents touched upon
therein by several beautiful photographs, and a drawing specially pre-
paied for the occasion. At its conclusion the Chairman dwelt for some
time on the merits of the Paper, and moved that the best thanks of the
Society be awarded to the Secretary for the interesting Paper he had
d ,awn * This proposition having been cordially seconded by Dr.
Bhdwood, was unanimously carried, and the Meeting adjourned to
Thursday, November i/th, 1864.
