ceeded in securing the material here described in the form of a rough 

 fragment of 280 grams weight. 



Exteriorly the mass is so oxidized as to resemble an ordinary 

 boulder of terrestrial limonite. A broken surface reveals an irregu- 

 lar sponge of metal with interstices of yellowish olivine of various 

 sizes up to a maximum of 17 mm. in diameter. The metal bands are 

 irregular, narrow, rarely over a few millimeters in width, and show 

 in their maximum development the usual border of white iron {wick- 

 elkamacit) inclosing small areas of dull, plessitelike material, and 

 the intervening plates of taenite. No Widmanstiitten figures were de- 

 veloped by etching. I'he olivines are mostly angular in outline, and 

 the structure, as shown in plate 2 is more that of a pallasite of the 

 Brahin than the Krasnoyarsk or Mount Vernon type, and so far as 

 can be determined from the small scrap available, will be classed as 

 of the Eockiky group, though the brecciation of the olivines is much 

 less conspicuous than in the meteorites of Eagle Station or Admire. 



The advanced condition of oxidation of the fragments renders a 

 chemical analysis of doubtful value, and none has been attempted.
