Fayette, Texas. 



About one-tenth the original mass, showing crust 

 and polished surface. The crust surface is some- 

 what decomposed, but shows the characteristic 

 pittings. The polished surface shows the dark- 

 green color of the stone, with its fine texture and 

 scattered metallic grains. (W.) 



Thin slab from another portion of the specimen, 

 exhibiting the black veins peculiar to this 

 meteorite. (W. ) 



Nagaya, Entre Rios, Argentina, South Amer- 

 ica . 

 Small fragment, entirely black in color, one sur- 

 face having a scoriaceous appearance, the re- 

 mainder the lustre of graphite. (W. ) 



Carbonaceous rieteorite, Province of Entre Rios, 



Argentina, South America. 

 Several fragments, having much the appearance of 

 bits of black lava. (W. ) 



Hoes, Kolos, Transylvania. 



Nearly complete individual, cuboidal inform, with 

 solid angles only slightly rounded. Interior 

 grayish-brown in color, with coarse, metallic 

 grains. (W. ) 



Elongated fragment, showing crust on two sides. 

 Narrow, dark veins similar to those noted by 

 Tschermak, pass through the mass in several 

 directions. (W ) 



*Six fragments of nearly equal size, showing crust 

 and interior. They have in general a cuboidal 

 form with a prominence of the solid angles. Por- 

 tions cf the interior display a "slickensided" 

 surface. (W. ) 



Complete individual, tetrahedral in form. Entirely 

 covered with thick, black crust, except at one 

 point, where the light-gray interior may be 

 seen. (K. ) 



Complete individual, plano-convex in form, the 

 convex surface being evidently the "breast" side. 

 The opposite face shows a thinner crust and 

 rougher surface. (K.) 



Alfianello, Brescia, Italy. 



Fragment, with crust. The latter is about 0.4 mm. 

 in thickness, and of a dirty black color. The 

 interior of the stone is ash-gray, fine-grained, 

 and contains metallic grains, with some coarse 

 nodules of the same. (W.) 



♦Interior fragment, ash-gray, with brown spots, 

 due to the oxidation of the metallic particles. Sev- 

 eral of the latter are quite large, and rounded as 

 if previously fused. (W. )
