and Masses of Meteoric Tron, &c. 5 
A stone preserved at Abydos, and another at Cassandria. 
¢ Probably the symbol of Diana at Ephesus. 
? Probably the black stone in the Caaba at Mecca, and an- 
other also preserved there. 
(The stone preserved in the coronation-chair of the kings 
of England, and which was considered as something remark- 
able at a very remote period, is, according to late accounts 
communicated to me, not a meteoric production.) 
B. After the Christian Atra. 
A stone fell in the Vocontorium agro, perhaps in the first 
half or about the middle of the first century. 
In the years 2, 106, 154, 310, and 333. Stones in China. 
(The pretended fall of a stone at Constantinople in the year 
416, mentioned by Sethus Calvisius, originated in a misun- 
derstanding.) 
452. Three very large stones in Thrace. 
During the sixth century. Stones on Mount Lebanon, and 
near Emesa in Syria. | 
? 570 (or about that time). Stones near Beder in Arabia. 
616. Stones in China. 
? 648. A fiery stone at Constantinople. 
? 839. Stones in Japan. 
852, in July or August. A large stone in Tabaristan. 
892 or 897 (or 908). At Ahmed-Dad, many stones. 
951. A stone at Augsburg (not in Italy). 
998. Two stones near Magdeburg. 
Not long after 1009, a large mass of iron, according to the 
description similar to that of Pallas, at Dschordschan. (Sub- 
sequently the name of the place has been falsely read and 
written Cordova, and Lurgea, and a Rex Torati made of the 
sultan of Khorasan). 
1021. Stones in Africa. 
1057. A stone in Corea. 
1112. Stones, or perhaps iron, near Aquileja.

? 1138, the 8th of March. Probably stones near Mosul. 
1164, during Whitsuntide. Iron in the district of Misnia. 
(I pass over many accounts of that period, which are either 
fabulous, or relate perhaps to falls of hailstones). 
1249, the 26th of July. Stones near Quedlinburg, &c. 
? During the 13th century a stone is said to have fallen at 
Wiirzburg. (‘The specimen preserved there was nothing but 
an old battle-axe.) 
Between 1251 and 1360, many stones fell near Welikoi- 
Usting in Russia. 
1280.
