Morelos. Meteorite of Los Amates. This is a nodule of meteoric iron found among a number of specimens of 

 minerals of iron coming from the Rancho de Jos Amates, a place situated upon the road from Mexico to Iguala and near 

 the latter village.

 grams. No other mention of weights seems to occur.
