CHEROKEE COUNTY, GEORGIA. Nos. 208. 349. 



Iron, Om. Three pieces weighing 123, 189, and 423 grams. Cross 

 sections and portion of end of mass showing Widmansttitten figures 

 and grains of troilite. Date of fall unknown ; found in 1894, 2^ miles 

 east of Cherokee Mills and 5 miles southwest of Canton, in Cherokee 

 County. Appearance of iron such as to lead to the supposition that 

 it had lain in the soil for a long period. Analyses by H. N. Stokes 

 yielded : 



Per cent. 



Iron (Fe) 91.96 



Nickel (Ni) 6.70 



Cobalt (Co) .50 



Copper (Cu) .03 



Phosphorus (P) .01 



Sulphur (S) .01 



Silicon (Si) Trace. 



Carbon (C) Trace.

Structure coarsely octahedral with broad kamacite lamellae. 



This iron is regarded by Wiilfing as identical with that of Lost- 

 town, Cherokee County, found in 1867, and described by Shepard 

 in 1868. Howell does not agree to this.

CHICO MOUNTAIN, BREWSTER COUNTY, TEXAS. No. 513. 



Iron, H. A 212-gram fragment from a mass of unknown weight 

 found on the south side of Chico Mountain. 



CHULAFINNEE, CLEBURNE COUNTY, ALABAMA. No. 81. 



Iron, Om. Weight, 8.5 grams. From a mass weighing 14,750 

 grams found in 1873.
