HANDBOOK OF THE METEORITE COLLECTIONS. 87 



ber 1, 1889; a shower of stones over an area some 8 Idlometers long 

 by 5 kilometers broad. Twenty-six stones were found, weighing 

 altogether 33.83 kilograms. Twenty-five of these, weighing 30.83 

 kilograms, are still in the museum at Belgrade. This stone belongs 

 to the group of amphoterites of which but three representatives are 

 known. Chemical analysis by S. M. Losanitsch yielded :

Iron (Fe) 1.61 



Nickel (Ni) .83 



Cobalt (Co) .05 



Copper (Cu) Trace. 



Iron-sulphide (FeS?) 7.09
