No. II. — Diagram of the meteor observed by ?»Ir. J. Watson. 

 No. III.— In the Philoso- 



phical Magazine, Nov. and 

 Dec. 1854, there is a valuable 

 paper by R. P. Greg, Esq., 

 containing the details of a 

 communication " On Meteor- 

 ites or Aerolites," which that 

 gentleman gave in abrief form oam^ 

 at the Liverpool Meeting of 

 the British Association, 1854. 

 It is much to be regretted that 

 the valuable catalogue which 

 it includes was not communi- /« i„^_ 

 cated so as to form a part of '^^""^ 

 the Report. 



A subsequent paper by the 

 same author, Phil. Mag. July 

 1855, contains a curious and 

 interesting account of some 

 other meteorites.
