Iron, (Native) !—The only specimen of native iron which has 
been found, or at least scientifically made known, up to 
the present time, is in the form of a mass of meteoric 
iron obtained in the Gawler Ranges in November, 1875. 
The form is bounded by a series of more or less concave 
and irregularly-shaped planes. The surface is, for the 
most part, coated with a somewhat shining, dark brown 
oxide of iron. This meteorite consists of metallic iron, 
and contains a small proportion of nickel. It weighs 
326877 grains, or 7lbs. 340z. As originally found 
it was a trifle heavier, a small piece having been broken 
off by the finder, and the long chisel mark to the right hand 
on the top shows where an attempt was made to cut off 
a larger piece. The locality and circumstances attending 
the discovery of the meteorite are thus described by
