190 TRANSACTIONS OF THE [mAT 5, 



(14^x8x6f inches). It is an elongated, rounded piece, with one 

 large flat side showing large spaces filled with olivine. 



The 40-pound mass (18.181 kilos) measures 22x21x13 cm, 

 (8|-x8^x5^ inches), of irregular shape, with one large project- 

 ing point. 



The 36-pound mass (16.363 kilos) measures 22x22x16 cm. 

 (8^x8^x6^^ inches). It is a flattened spheroid, containing some 

 olivine, but almost entirely iron, showing large pittings like the 

 75-pound and the 345-pound masses. 



There are seventeen or eighteen small masses weighing 18, 12, 

 7, 6, 5, 3, and 1 pound respectively, and a few weighing only 

 1 ounce each. The 211 and 6-pound masses belong to the Uni- 

 versity of Minnesota; the 125-pound mass to Harvard Uni- 

 versity; the 101.5 to Yale University; the 218|- and the 54.96- 

 pound masses to the University of Kansas. The others are in 

 the collection of the writer. 



The specific gravity of the pieces is very variable, and was 

 found to be as follows: — Of the 6-pound mass, 5.17; 40-pound 

 mass, 6,41; 71.5-pound mass, 5.22; 75-pound mass, 7.27; 345- 

 pound mass, about the same density as the last; 466-pound mass, 

 about the same density as the 71.5-pound mass.
