Powder flill Creek, Crab Orchard Mts., Tenn- 

 essee. (Identical with Rockwood.) 



Irregular fragment, one surface polished. Metallic 

 grains small and evenly distributed. (K. ) 



Llano del Inca, Desert of Atacama, So. America. 

 *Dark-brown mass, with natural and polished sur- 

 faces. Metallic grains appear only on one edge. 

 Complete individual, intersected by the cracks so 

 characteristic of this meteorite. A few large grains 

 of olivine are enclosed in cavities on the surface. 



(W.) 

 Thick slab, polished on two surfaces. No metallic 

 grains are visible. (W.) 



Dona Inez, Desert of Atacama, So. America. 



Thin slab, showing natural and etched surfaces. 

 Tne stony matter, dark-brown in color, largely 

 predominates. One nodule of iron about the 

 size of a pea, shows delicate W. f. (W.) 



*Hemispheroidal mass, one surface polished. The 

 peculiar cracked surface characteristic of these 

 meteorites is well exhibited. (W.) 



Complete individual, described by Howell as look- 

 ing like "a lump of dried, red mud cracked by 

 shrinkage and covered with spots of green mould 

 (nickel) in places " (W. ) 



Similar to No. 192, but larger. (W ) 



Kiowa County, (Brenham Township), Kansas. 



One-half of a complete individual one surface pol- 

 ished. Composed chiefly of iron, with olivine 

 filling the sponge like pores. (W. ) 



Thin slab, polished. The central portion for a 

 width of about 5 cm. is solid metal, but on either 

 side the mass is porous, the pores being filled with 

 olivine. (W.) 



Full-sized slab, polished, showing a sponge-like 

 mass of iron, with olivine filling the cavities. 

 See Plate IV, Fig. 1. (K.) 



Similar to No. 197, but thicker. Some of the olivine 

 nodules are beautifully transparent and highly 

 refracting. (K ) 



*Smaller piece, similar to No. 197. (K. ) 



4G6 pound mass, entire. The form is flattened, 

 somewhat heart-shaped. The surface is covered 

 with pittings, and considerably oxidized. The 

 grains of olivine are readily discernible over the 

 surface. See Plate IV, Fig. 2. (K.) 



♦Full-sized slab, showing structure like No. 197. 



(K.) 

 18 pound mass, entire. Form, hemispheroidal.the 

 surface covered with pittings. Structure porous, 

 pores filled with olivine. See Plate IV, Fig. 3.
