Catalogue of Australian Meteorites. 



The following Catalogue represents all the Australian Meteorites 

 discovered up to date, so far as known to me. The name of the 

 meteorite is first given, followed by the more important references 

 bearing on it. These are succeeded by the type, locality, tinder 

 and date, and the collection in which the stones, or slices, or both, 

 are to be seen. Every effort has been made to obtain accurate 

 details, but gaps in the information must of necessity occur when 

 objects like these, often passing through several hands before 

 coming under the eye of the describer, are being dealt with.
