of the latter whose arrangement approaches the dodecahedral system so that their enveloping 

 kamacite plays the r61e of swathing kamacite, and there are also present entire dodecahedrons 

 of schreibersite. 



Tazewell takes on strong permanent magnetism. The specific magnetism was deter- 

 mined by Leick as 2/73 absolute units per gram. 20 Farrington - 1 found that Tazewell as well 

 as all the meteoric irons tested by him, was active; but it usually took as much as 15 minutes 

 before the deposition of copper occurred in Tazewell, while in the case of all other irons, even in 

 those equally rich in nickel, the reaction became distinctly noticeable in 4 minutes at the latest. 



The largest quantity of the meteorite (23 pounds) is in the Amherst collection. The 

 Washington Shepard collection has 1,943 grams; Harvard 754 grams.
