In this paper the discrepancies between macroseismic and instrumental coordinates of 16 earthquakes in Sheki-Ismayilli area is studied. Macroseismic coordinates of epicenters are thoroughly checked and accepted only on the basis of refined and calculated data. For that purpose isoseismal lines are drawed for all earthquakes. The depths of earthquake sources are also estimated. Linear dependence between the discrepancies of macroseismic and instrumental epicenters and the earthquake sources is established.
