I. A new Catalogue of Meteoric Stones, Masses of Meteoric 
Iron, and other Substances, the Fall of which has been made 
_ known, down to the present Time. By K. F. F. Cutapni.* 
§ I. Introduction. 
ig is my intention to offer, in the present memoir, a com- 
plete and rectified catalogue of all the phenomena of this 
description that have been observed from the earliest ages 
down to the present time. Since the publication of my 
work on Igneous Meteors and the Substances that have fallen 
Jrom them+; in which I treated this subject as fully as I was 
able, new occurrences of the same description have taken 
place; and these I published, by way of appendices to my 
work, in vol. lxviii. p. 329, and in vol. Ixxi. p. 358, of Gilbert’s 
Annals. 
In the present catalogue, I shall, in order to avoid prolixity, 
forbear mentioning the sources of my information on such 
phzenomena as are treated of in the above-mentioned work ;

I shall also omit all those phenomena which do not really be- 
long to this class (for instance, where hail has been mistaken 
* From Schweigger’s Neues Journal, B. vi. p. 87. In order to make this 
catalogue of meteorites (which is the latest that has been drawn up,) as 
complete as possible, we have inserted notices of a mass of meteoric iron, 
and the fall of some meteoric stones, which have lately been communicated 
to the same Journal by Prof. Neggerath ; and we have also appended to it 
some particulars of the various falls of meteorites that have taken place 
since Dec. 1822, when the catalogue was first published, as well as of some 
masses of iron subsequently discovered. Our additions are distinguished 
by insertion within brackets.——Epir.
