It is estimated to have normal focal depth. This preliminary determination was made with the help of readings from the following stations: Georgetown, Fordham, Weston, Chicago, Ann Arbor, Ukiah, Victoria, San Juan, St. Louis, Tucson, Philadelphia, Williamstown, Butte, Bozeman, Honolulu, Manila, Sitka, Pasadena, College, Burlington, Huancayo and Kew.
