Masses of Iroii probably of Meteoric Origin, 



The masses of iron, probably meteoric, are distinguished by 

 the presence of nickel, by their texture, by their malleabiUty 

 and their insulated position. Some of these masses are spongy 

 or cellular ; the cavities are filled with a stony substance, similar 

 to peridot. Amongst these, we must place, 



The mass found by Pallas, in Siberia, the meteoric origin of 

 which was known to the Tartars. 



? A piece found between Eibenstock and Johanngeorgenstadt. 



A mass preserved in the Imperial Cabinet of Vienna, coming 

 probably from Norway. 



A small mass, weighing four pounds, now at Gotha. Other 

 masses are solid; in which case the iron consists of rhomboids 

 or octahedrons, composed of layers, or parallel folia. 



The only fall known of masses of this kind is that at Agram, 

 in 1751. Some others similar have been found : — 



On the right bank of the Senegal river. Compagnott, Forster,
