Two notable features of 1941 as an earthquake year, states the annual report of the Dominion Observatory, were a prevailing tendency for activity to be concentrated toward the north-west side of the general seismic region, and the occurrence of shocks deeper than normal in the submarine region between Taranaki and Nelson and beneath the northern part of the South Island. The total number of earthquakes reported as felt was 107, the fewest since 1028, but seismograph records showed that minor activity was much the same as in previous years.
