EXTENSIVE’ SUBS!DING. WELLINGTON, September 6. For several weeks past the king .scries of earthquakes in the Taupo district have been increasing in severity, though there have been occasional recoveries of vigour. One of these recoveries has occurred in the last fe" days and is described in the message from Tokaann. Professor K. Marsdcn who lias just returned from a short visit to the district states that tho most important evidence ho saw was the wholesale subsidence of a large block of land which forms a peninsula between AVb.aakipo (Bay and AVha.ngamata, Bay on the north shore of the lake. This peninsula is edged by steep cliffs which used to liavo beaches at the foot, but the whole area, measuring about a mile and a quarter wide and two miles long, has dropped about four and a lialf feet, so that the benches are submerged. Tbe drop tapers out along tile adjacent shores and its inland boundary is also indistinct. The subsidence extends northwards in diminishing extent for several miles. Great quantities of material amounting to thousands of tons have fallen of the eastern face of the peninsula into the lake. Professor Mnrsdon, when told of today’s message from Tokaanu, said that the report, which chronicled only slight shocks, indicated the southwards trend of the disturbance, a movement whioli ho had expected.
