Earthquake aftershock sequences for the years 1964 through 1974 were examined for a sidereal period. High chi-square values were found for various subsets of the data but were shown to be caused primarily by one specific sequence. Removing part of that sequence from the data eliminated the high chi-square values when weight factors which eliminate local time fluctuations were used.
