XXVI. Continuation of the New Catalogue of Meteorites. By 
KE. F. F. Caiapni*. 
J. Additions to the Catalogue of Falls of Meteoric Stones and 
Masses of Iron. 
BESIDES the meteoric stones preserved at Abydos and 
Cassandria, as mentioned by Pliny, Hist. Nat. ii. 58, 
Joh. Laurentius Lydus, in his work de Ostentis, mentions after 
Apuleius (probably from some MS. of this author since lost), 
a similar stone preserved at Cyzicus, and of which it was 
thought that if it ever perished, the town would perish with it. 
During the consulate of Cn. Calvinus and M. Messala, 2. e. 
about fifty-two years before our era, there were, according to 
Dio Cassius, xl. 47, falls of earth and stone. 
During the consulate of Aimilius, 3 Kalend. April, a fall 
of stones took place at Vejae, according to an account taken 
from an ancient publication in the form of a newspaper (Acta 
diurna, Acta urbis populique), and communicated in the Roman 
newspaper called Notizie del giorno 1822. (As it is not said 
which Aimilius it was, it is impossible to point out the precise 
year.) 
In the year 921, some stones fell near Narni, in the vicinity 
of Rome, which were considered infernal productions; one 
in particular which fell into the river Narnus, and which is 
said to have projected two feet above the surface of the water, 
according to a MS. chronicle by the friar Benedictus de St. 
Andrea, in the library of prince Chigi at Rome. 
?1201. Probably stones with a fiery meteor, according to 
a passage of Cardanus mentioned in Lubienicii theatr. comet. ii. 
p- 226, but which I have not been able to find in his own works. 
Not long before 1349, in Arragon, three large stones, ac-_ 
cording to a MS. continuation of the Chronicle of Martinus 
Polonus, in the Hungarian National Museum at Pesth. ~ 
About the year 1780, in North America, in the territory of 
Kingsdale, in New-England, between West River Mountain 
and Connecticut, masses of iron.—Quarterly Review, No. 59. 
April 1824. | 
1818, 11th of June (or 30th of May, O.S.). Stones near 
Zaborzyca, in Volhynia, according to Laugier, in the Bulletin 
de la Soc. Philomat. June 1823, p. 86; and Mém. du Muséum, 
17 Année, t. xvi. des Annales, cah. 2. - 
? 1822, 10th of September. Probably meteoric stones, near 
Carlstadt in Sweden+. 
* From Schweigger’s Journal, N. H. Band xiv. p. 475. 
+ We omit the accounts which here follow in the original, of the recent 
falls of meteorites we have already incorporated with Dr. Chladni’s former 
Catalogue ;—see our present volume, p. 12.—Enprr.
