PHICETOWN, HIGHLAND COUNTY, OHIO. No. 192. 



Stone, Cw. Two and one-half gram fragment with dull, papillated, 

 and blebby crust, found February 13, 1893. Gift of F. W. Clarke. 



PULTUSK (BETWEEN PULTUSK AND OSTROLENKA), ON THE NABEW, POLAND, 



RUSSIA. Nos. 17, 463. 



Stone, Cg. Four complete individuals, weighing 12, 25, 43, and 158 

 grams, with dull black papillated and somewhat pitted crust, and over 

 100 smaller forms broken and showing portion of interior, weighing, 

 in the aggregate, upward ot 1,000 grams. Fell January 30, 1868, at 

 7 p. m. The fall is one of the most remarkable on record, on account 

 of the extraordinary number of stones, estimated as some 100,000, 

 varying in weight from 7 kilograms to 1 gram. Of this material, 

 some 200,932 grams are represented 'in the various collections of the 

 world. Chemical analyses by vom Rath are not all that could be 

 desired, owing to incomplete separations of the metallic and silicate 

 portions. The results given are as follows :
