The form and arrangement of this catalogue are similar to those of 

 previous catalogues of the collection, the arrangement being an alpha- 

 betical one for all falls, with a description, weight and number for each 

 specimen. The classification given to each fall has been in the main 

 that assigned by Brezina in the Ward-Coonley catalogue.* Where 

 obvious discrepancies occur, however, they have been noted by the 

 writer. In some cases where there was a lack of correspondence between 

 the specimen and Brezina's classification, sufficient material did not 

 seem to be at hand to warrant suggesting a change, while in other 

 cases it appeared that Brezina's determination might have been based 

 on insufficient material. A determination of the classification of each 

 meteorite ; n whatever collection possessed the largest quantity of the 

 fall would, in many cases, be desirable, although even with a large 

 amount of material individual judgments might differ. The writer 

 has followed Cohen f in grouping together the various falls of Great 

 Nama Land (Amalia, Great Fish River, Lion River, Mukerop and 

 Springbok River) under the single name of Bethany. This reduces 

 the number of falls from that region considerably from those usually 

 listed, but the great similarity of the etching figures of these meteorites 

 make it seem probable to the writer, as it has to other authorities, that 

 these masses had a single origin. BerwerthJ has been followed in 

 grouping the Japanese falls, Oshima, Hishikari, Maeme and Shigetomi, 

 under the single name of Kyushu. In the case of Coahuila the various 

 irons have been grouped according to the practice which has now 

 become common. Effort has been made to exclude all doubtful falls 

 and if in the practice of this principle some specimens which may later
