A METEORITE FROM ZULULAND. Ill 



Photograph No. 15 (X 18) shows this is an extreme case, 

 a new system of kamacite crystallisation having started inside 

 the cell, leaving smaller cells of plessite. 



In conclusion, I have pleasure in acknowledging the great 

 assistance rendered by Mr. M. T. Murray in the preparation of 

 the photographs. 



Appendix. 



Affidavits. 



Brancli Court. Ensingabantu. X'kandhla District, the nth 

 October, 1912. 



Ijefore me — T. A. Jackson. 



Magistrate. N'khandhla district. 



Appeared : Chief Mapoyisa, Ntuli tribe, N'kandhla district, 

 who, being duly cautioned, and having made the declaration 

 required by law. 



States : 



I was at my kraal at the Ekulela stream near the Tugela, 

 and shortly after noon, I heard a loud explosion overhead, and 

 looked up and saw what appeared to be smoke It came from 

 the direction of Helpmakaar, apparently, i.e., from a northerly 

 direction, and appeared to go south towards the sea. It travelled 

 like smoke, with a spiral motion, accompanied by a rumbling 

 sound. 



It seemed to pass over the Qudeni point, and disappeared. 

 All that we could see was a trail of smoke ; there was no fire 

 accompanying it. 



I was first attracted by the sound as of thunder, and then 

 looked up and saw what I have described. Afterwards I heard 

 that a lump had dropped near where a woman named Dedisa was 

 gathering firewood. Dedisa is my sister, who married Mata- 

 njana, and is living at the Xsunguza stream, a tributary of the 

 RufTalo river, just over the l)oundary in Nqutu district. 



That is all I know. 



Mapoyisa — his X mark. 



Read over, interpreted and adhered to before me. 

 (Signed) T.A.Jackson, 



Magistrate, N'kandhla. 



Appeared : Dedisa, wife of Matanjana, Chief Ngvvoni, 

 Nqutu district. 



States: 



I was cutting grass near my kraal, and was in a stooping 

 position, when I heard a loud explosion. Then all the Irillside 

 was filled' with a deafening sound, which continually grew louder 

 until I heard a sound as of something striking the ground. J
