 finest octahedrites, 11 to 15 per cent.

accord with octahedral planes. In the meshes of this web the 

 nickel-poor remainder is deposited as a homogeneous, granular 

 aggregate. If the structure is secondary, it may be explained by 

 supposing that a normal octahedrite was somewhat softened by heat, 

 so as to destroy the lamellar structure in part, after which solidifi- 

 cation took place. If this latter be the correct explanation, the 

 softening was carried farther in Hammond than in Cacaria and Reed 

 City.
