Excerpt from Notes on the Geology of Panay
The seismic disturbances in this island have been discussed already.ll It seems reasonably certain that the majority of the disturbances which have occurred there are local and are of the rockfall type. I have seen some landslips which have resulted from the slipping of the sediments, particularly the shales, over' one another along bedding planes. If these are large enough, they can easily set up vibrations which would be recorded by seismographs.
