kilos. The iron measures 22.5 x 15 x 10 cm. (9x6x4 inches). 



Traces of black crnst very much oxidized are still visible on 

 the surface. The iron is liighly octahedral in structure, and the 

 mass was readily broken by the laborers who found it. Between 

 the cleavage plates schreibersite is visible. 



On etching a polished surface of this iron with dilute nitric 

 acid, the characteristic Widmanstjitten figures were shown. The 

 iron belongs to the caillite group, and resembles those of the 

 Cabin Creek and Glorietta Mountain in structure. 



The specific gravity of a fragment was found to be 6.617. 

 The following analysis was kindly furnished by Prof. F. P. 

 Venable, of the University of Xorth Carolina : 



Fe 88.90 



Ni 9.94 



Co -76 



P 35 



CI 02 



99.97 



The nickel is the mean of two determinations, 9.74 and 10.14, 

 on different parts of the sample. 



The cobalt also of two determinations, .85 and .67. 



The iron is the mean of four determinations, some of which 

 were not very closely agreeing, as the crust could not be entirely 

 removed from the samples taken. 



The phosphorus and chlorine are single determinations. 



The author takes great pleasure in thanking Mr. T. K. Bru- 

 ner for his courtesy in obtaining; the information and the iron 

 for him, and in thanking Professor F. P. Venable for furnish- 

 ing the analysis.
