gs Meteoric Stones. 
not equally blended, but separate into imperfectly formed erys- 
talline series. If the iron is dissolved in an acid solution of sul- 
phate of iron, the pure iron is set free almost by itself and its lam- — 
ine fall down in flakes. 
The elementary bodies hitherto found in the meteoric stones 
make up just a third of those we are acquainted with, namely, 
oxygen, hydrogen, sulphur, phosphorus, carbon, silicon, chrome, 
potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, aluminium, iron, man- 
ganese, nickel, cobalt, tin and copper. 
The following analyses of the meteoric iron may be cited; 
some conducted at the same time by Wherle are added.

This last result cannot possess entire precision, for the whole 
quantity of the metal, which I was able to take for analys'; 
was of the former only 3, and of the latter 2.8 centigramme: 
Wherle’s analysis will be seen to agree more exactly with mine 
when [ add that he had in the iron the alloy of phosphorus and 
manganese, and also of magnesia, which fell as the ammoilo 
phosphate of magnesia with the oxide of iron. 
Wherle has cited (in the forementioned Journal) still othet 
analyses of meteoric iron which I here communicate.
