SERIES C. METEORITES. 



A complete list of the Meteorites represented in the Meteorite 

 Collection, with a statement of the total weights of the specimens 

 representing each Fall, is given with the Introduction to the 

 Study of Meteorites. 



The collection is arranged in two divisions : 



Div. I. The Introductory Series, exhibited in case IV of 

 the Pavilion. The specimens have been selected, 

 arranged and labelled to serve as an Introduction 

 to the Study of Meteorites. 



Div. II. The General Collection is exhibited in three cases 

 (I-III) of the Pavilion. The specimens of the 

 General Collection are, for convenience, arranged 

 in three classes, namely : Meteoric Irons, Sidero- 

 lites and Meteoric Stones; each class is then 

 sub-divided into meteorites of known and un- 

 known dates of fall ; the specimens belonging 

 to the former sub-division are arranged in the 

 order of date of fall, while those belonging to the 

 latter sub-division are arranged topographically. 



The following chronological list gives the year 

 in which each recognised meteoritic fall was first 

 represented in the Collection.
