assigned the iJntonnsity value is also i<strong>de</strong>ntified un<strong>de</strong>r "Interpreter". Uo to<br />

four references are listed. Tho.se are references to published material, which<br />

may inclu<strong>de</strong> assigned intenslty vaJues or may be only <strong>de</strong>scriptions <strong>of</strong> damage<br />

frow an event. Baned on there references the interpreter has assigned an<br />

Antensity value fop that location. A column is also provi<strong>de</strong>d for comments<br />

relating to that .cation. Thin space may be used to point out unusual<br />

oasnoss for damage such as iqufaction or landsli<strong>de</strong>s.<br />

The hypocentral <strong>para</strong>meters givn in the intensity <strong>catalog</strong> are the same as<br />

those li3ted in the hyponter <strong>catalog</strong>. This is important because no<br />

references are provi<strong>de</strong>d for the hyponentral data inclu<strong>de</strong>d in the intensity<br />

<strong>catalog</strong>, but these refcrercumay be found by referring back to the hypocenter<br />

<strong>catalog</strong>. It is also eusent.al that the i<strong>de</strong>ntifying number used In the<br />

intensity catalo.g correspond with the number in the hypocenter <strong>catalog</strong> and<br />

that any event given in the intensity <strong>catalog</strong> be inclu<strong>de</strong>d in the hypocenter<br />

catalo;. During the compilaLion <strong>of</strong> the Intensity <strong>catalog</strong> we have attempted to<br />

in<strong>sur</strong>e that; this correspon<strong>de</strong>nce is maintained.<br />

Some question arose as to what the maximum intensity in the hypocenter<br />

<strong>catalog</strong> represents. Should this necessarily correspond to the maximum<br />

intensity ,iven in the intensity <strong>catalog</strong>, and if so which <strong>of</strong> the three<br />

possible maximum intensities? During the compilation, we have checkea that<br />

the maximum observed intensity given in the intensity <strong>catalog</strong> is the actual<br />

maximum <strong>of</strong> the reported intensity otser'vations. Maximum intens ties listed in<br />

,v h.'ceenter <strong>catalog</strong> may differ' fCom those listed In the intensity<br />

<strong>catalog</strong>. in or<strong>de</strong>r- to provi<strong>de</strong> thn best estimate possible <strong>of</strong> the stze <strong>of</strong><br />

historical events, the hypocenter o;ta]og may list an estimated maximum<br />

Intensity. This .s most likely in th case <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fshore events.
