; 9 ; loss 15. It appears that Sementini did not 



<- look for magnesia or nickel. 



1814, 3d and 4th July. — A great fall of black dust in Canada, 



with an appearance of fire. The event was similar to 



that of 472. F/til. Mag. vol. 44. 

 1814, in the night of the 27th and 28th Oct.— In the valley of 



Oneglia, near Genoa, red rain. Giornale di Fisica, &c* 



vol. 1, p. 32. 



1814, oth Nov. — It was found in the Doab, in India, that every^ 



stone which fell was surrounded by a little heap of 

 dust. FliiLMag. 



1815, towards the end of September, the sea to the south of 



India was covered with dust to a very great extent, 

 probably after a similar fall. Fhil. Mag. July, 1816. 



1816, 15th April. — Red snow in different places, in the northern 



parts of Italy. Giornale di Fisica, Sec. vol. 1, 1818, 

 p. 473. 



1819, 13th Aug.— At Amherst, in Massachusets. After a lumi- 

 nous meteor, there fell an offensive gelatinous mass. 

 Silliman's Journal, 2, 335. 



1819, 5th Sept. — At Studein, in Moravia, in the jurisdiction of 

 Teltsch, between eleven and twelve o'clock at noon, 

 the sky being serene and tranquil, a shower of small 

 pieces of earth, proceeding from a small insulated 

 transparent cloud. Hesperus, Nov. 1819, and Gil- 

 bert's Annals, vol. 68. 



1819, 5th Nov. — Red rain in Flanders, and in Holland. Ann, 

 Gener. des Sciences Physiques. (Cobalt and muriatic 

 acid were found in this rain.) 



1819, in Nov. — At Montreal, and in the northern part of the 

 United States. Black rain and snow, accompanied 

 by an extraordinary darkness of the sky, concussions 

 like an earthquake, detonations resembling discharges 

 of artillery, and igneous flashes which were taken for 

 intense lightning, Ann. de Chim. vol. 15. Some 

 persons attributed the phenomenon to the conflagra- 

 tion of a forest, but the noise, the concussions, &c. 

 prove that it was really a meteor similar to those of 

 472, 1637, 1762, and 1814 (in Canada). It appears 

 that the black and friable stones which fell at Alais, in 

 1806, were nearly the same substance in a state of 

 •.• . greater aggregation. 



1821, 3d May, at nine o'clock in the morning. — Red rain in the 

 environs of Giessen. M. Professor Zimmerman having 

 analyzed the reddish brown sediment left by this rain, 

 found in it chrome, oxide of iron, silica, lime, carbon, 

 a trace of magnesia, and some volatile pailicles ; but 

 no nickel.
