perceptible at Manfredonia, and even in upon the mountain table-land of the peninsula of Gargano.
Passing again south, he said, that at Cassano and Gioia, towns which are upon the last lines of prolongation of the Apennine chains, but upon Murgie, (the tertiary rocks,) and low hills, the severity of the shock had been thought much greater than at Matera, and at many of the other towns in the central part of the great rolling lands, to the N.W. of the Gulf of Tarentum.
At Gravina and Altamura, where the shock was felt from west to east, there was some damage done, but not great.
At Tarentum, at the head of the gulf, the shock was not noticed. At Canosa, he had heard from other priests, that the direction of the shock, was rather to the north, or from S.W. to N.E., which would be about 49° or 50° E. of north, and was also there from south to north.
