1 Described by Nordenskiold. Thousands fell— area not distinctly elliptical. 

 Heaviest stones flew furthest. 



2 In the Paris Catalogue this is given as 23rd May, 1865. 



^ This may be a misprint both in the name and year of fall and is omitted in the 

 summary. 



•* No common interval exists between any of these of the 23rd January, and none 

 have been seen since 1877. The presumption therefore is against periodicity and in 

 favour of coincidence. The date is worth examining further. The material of each 

 is different, viz. : Scholakolf is Lucéite ; Nellore is Bellajite ; Nedagolla is Burling- 

 tonite : Cyntheana is Parnallite. 



^ Summarised as 24.
