NO. 2248. FAYETTE COUNTY, TEXAS, METEORITE— MERRILL. 561 



The differences between the finds of 1878 and 1900, as I have 

 pointed them out, are in my opinion amply sufficient to warrant their 

 being considered distinct falls. The question of what this 1900 fiind 

 shall be called is a troublesome one. The name La Grange would 

 be appropriate, but that it has been given to an iron from Oldham 

 County, Kentucky. That of Swiss Alp, Mr. Melcher's post-office 

 address, is unfortunately geographically misleading. It is sug- 

 gested, therefore, that the stone of 1900 be known as the Cedar, 

 Fayette County stone. Cedar being the name of a small village a 

 little to the southwest of Bluff.
