From these results Giimbel calculated the mineral composition 

 to be: 



Per cent. 



Olivine 10. 00 



Feldspathic and scapolite-like mineral 18. 50 



Augitic mineral 40- ^ 



Nickel-iron 14. 50 



Pyrrhotite 5- 00 



Schreibersite 2. 00 



Chromite 1- 00 



100. 00 

 The stone is described as chondritic, finely granular, and so friable 



as to be readily crushed between the thumb and fingers.

SCOTT CITY, KAKSAS. No. 429. 



Stone, Cc. Weight, 175 grams. Weight of main mass, 1,900 grams. 

 Found in November, 1911. A very dense chondritic stone consisting 

 of the usual olivine and pyroxenes, and of which no analysis has 

 been made.

SCOTTSVILLE, ALLEN COUNTY, KENTUCKY. No. T7. 



Iron, H. Weight, 99.8 grams. In two pieces; a section, weigh- 

 ing 66.5 grams, contains troilite nodules, and one, weighing 33.5 

 grams, etched, shows also troilite nodules and presents a granular 

 or stippled surface overlaid with a network of fine lines. Date of 

 fall unknown ; found in June, 1867. Original weight about 10 kilo- 

 grams ; dimensions, 14 by 18 by 16 cm. 



The markings on an etched surface are exceedingly fine and require the aid 

 of a lens to distinguish them. There appear to be two sets of figures — one of 

 long, very fine lines, representing octahedral cleavage, and the other series 

 being smaller, more crowded, and barely perceptible. (Whitfield).
