1890. ] HOWELL—DESCRIPTION OF NEW METEORITES. 93 
After the melting of the snow and ice the stone was found by Wm. 
Kinnear while on his way to school, on the morning of February 16th, 
about three or four feet to the east of where it struck. It was sent to 
me in August of the same year by a friend who purchased it from the 
boy who found it, and it is now in the Ward & Howell collection of 
meteorites. 
As we have thus far kept it as it was found, no analysis has been 
made. Its specific gravity (3.52) is somewhat greater then most 
aerolites, and it doubtless contains a little more iron than is usual in 
meteorites of its class. 
THE DONA INEZ AND THE LLANO DEL INCA, TWO NEW 
METEORITES FROM ATACAMA, CHILI. 
Prof. Ward obtained at Santiago de Chili, in April 1839, numerous 
small fragments of two siderolites, collected the previous year by the 
Chilian and Bolivian Boundary Survey. 
The first of these was found near the Cerro de Donia Inez, and we 
therefore propose for it the name of Dovia Znez. I am unable to state 
how much of this meteorite was found, but the amount secured by 
Prof. Ward was 16 lbs., the largest piece weighing 2 lbs. ro oz. All of 
these fragments have a very peculiar cracked appearance, as if from 
shrinkage in drying, and look very much like lumps of dried redish 
grey mud with little spots of green mould (nickel) in places. They 
look as if they would crumble if roughly handled. On cutting them 
open, however, they are found to be firm and show no effect of decom- 
position below the surface. 
The largest nodule of iron seen is about one quarter inch in diame- 
ter, which on being treated with dilute acid shows very fine Widman- 
statten figures. Mr. J. M. Davison has kindly furnished me with the 
following analysis of this meteorite :
