Feb., 1906. The South Bend Meteorite. 23 



South Bend is the seventh pallasite to be discovered in the United 

 States, the others recognized being Admire, Anderson, Brenham, 

 Eagle Station, Mount Vernon and Port Orford. Of these Anderson 

 is the nearest in locality to South Bend, but it is one hundred and 

 fifty miles distant. In structure, moreover, it differs. In the char- 

 acter of its etching figures and the fissured state of its chrysolite, 

 South Bend resembles the Imilac pallasite more than that of Kras- 

 noyarsk. It therefore belongs to the Imilac group, and is the first 

 representative of this group to be found in the United States. To 

 the meteorites of Indiana it adds a sixth, those now known from 

 the State being as follows : 



The locations of the points of fall of the above meteorites are 

 shown on the accompanying map of Indiana, Plate XVIII. A 

 noticeable feature of the distribution of these falls is that all but 

 one are along a north and south line close to the meridian of 86°. 

 The three falls known in Michigan, viz : Allegan, Grand Rapids and 

 Reed City, also follow closely the same meridian.
