	This week's Report covers the time period from midnight Thursday
	morning, September 26, Universal Time (ie. GMT), to midnight 
	Wednesday night, October 2, Universal Time.  In local time, 
	the period of coverage is from 5 p.m., September 25, Pacific 
	Daylight Time, to 5 p.m., October 2, Pacific Daylight Time.  
		Because of some computer system problems, we haven't
	been able to process our data into its final form.  Therefore,
	this Weekly Report consists of the automatic locations and 
	magnitudes, the same ones you would find on CUBE or with the
	"finger quake" utility.  Next week, when we hopefully have all
	the data processed, we will provide a summary of the final
	seismicity data for the whole two-week time period.
		Fortunately, the seismicity has been low and no-one felt
	any earthquakes.
		Table 1 lists the quakes this week that were M2.0 or 
	larger in the central part of the coverage area.  Times are local 
	times; if you want Greenwich Mean Time, add 7 hrs to the Pacific 
	Daylight Time or 8 hrs to the Pacific Standard Time listed.
