and Masses of Meteoric Iron, &c. 13 
§ ILI. Masses of Native Iron containing Nickel, which are to be 
considered as meteoric. 
A. Spongy or cellular, the interstices being filled with a Sub- 
tance resembling Olivine. 
* The large mass found in Siberia, and made known by 
Pallas, whose meteoric origin was known to the natives, and 
in which the iron and olivine have the same constituents as 
are found in meteoric stones +. 
? A fragment found between Eibenstock and Johann 
Georgenstadt. 
One in the imperial cabinet of natural history at Vienna, 
said to have been brought from Norway. 
* A mass weighing several pounds, found in a field, pro- 
bably at Grimma in Saxony, in the ducal cabinet of natural 
history at Gotha t. 
(The mass which fell in Dschordschan soon after the year 
1009, according to the description must have been of this 
kind.) 
B. Solid Masses of Iron containing Nickel, and crystallized in 
Octahedrons. 
(The only mass yet in existence, whose fall may be consi- 
dered as being historically proved, is that which fell in the 
province of Agram in 1751, as mentioned above. ‘The fol- 
lowing, however, we conclude to be such, from their conformity 
with this and other circumstances.) 
* The mass preserved in Bohemia, from time immemorial, 
under the name of the Enchanted Burggraf, the greater part 
of which is now in the cabinet at Vienna. The name, as well 
as the remains of a tradition, in which a tyrannical nobleman 
is said to have been killed by it, in the suburbs of Hrabicz, 
lead us to suppose that its fall had actually been noticed. 
* The mass found near Lenarto in Hungary, on the bound- 
ary of Gallicia, in which on the surface, treated with acids, as 
well as in the fracture, the crystalline texture very distinctly 
appears. 
* One or several masses found at the Cape of Good Hope. 
Many masses, and among them several large ones; on the 
right bank of the Senegal. 
+ Being unacquainted with any account of the crystallization of the 
olivine or peridot in this mass, it may not be improper to remark that I 
have one piece, of the size of a pea, beautifully crystallized in the form of a 
entagonal dodecahedron, besides several other pentagonal crystallized sur- 
aces being observable in it.—[See Phil. Mag. vol. Ixvi. p. 356.—En:r.]
