The late absorptive effects of Shot 4 observed at Site Elmer (Fige 3.2, 03715 to 1600 hours) were found also in the data taken there following Shots 1, 2, and 5, but not 3, as show in Table 3.1. This table and the corresponding Table 3.2 for Rongerik were compiled from a thorough examination of the scaled data. Although there was; of necessity, a certain amount of subjective interpretation (due to definition of "normal" and to some erraticism of absorption), Tables 3a and 3.2 present a fairly accurate overall picture. There appears to have been striking similarity, for all four very large shots, in the ending time of complete absorption at Rongerik and of the renewed absorption at Elmer, as well as in the time of return to normal minimum frequencies at each location.
