LAWCf, LOm-ET-CHER, FRANCE. No. 380. 



Stone, Cc. Fragment weighing 93 grams, from a shower of six 

 stones weighing in the aggregate 51.75 kik)grams, or 114 pomids, 

 which fell on July 23, 1872. Analysis showed it to consist of : 



Per cent. 



Nickel-iro* 7. 81 



Iron and other metals combined with sulphur 9. 09 



Sulphur combined as above o. 19 



Silica IT. 20 



Iron protoxide 11.33 



Manganese • ^5 



Magnesia 13. 86 



Sodium chloride • 12 



Insoluble constituents 33. 44 



Hygrometric water 1- 24 



99.33 



The above is interesting on account of the reported occurrence of 

 sodium chloride. There is a doubt, however, as to the correctness of 

 this.
