Its crust resembles that of the Iowa stone, without however 
possessing its uniformity of thickness, or its deep black color. 
. e proportion and mode of dissemination of the nickel-iron and 
the pyrites, is ho, similar in both; but the color of the earthy 
miter in the uryland, is several shades darker, and more incli- 
ning to blue. ‘The iron-rust points are less frequent than in the 
Iowa meteorite. Like the latter, it is principally composed of 
howardite ; although rounded grains of olivinoid, to the amount 
perhaps of 15 per cent,, are distinguishable with the aid of the 
microscope. . :

«The it much resembles som the Maryland stone, though 
it is somewhat remarkable n possessing an uniform brownish 
black color. Within, the dtctie is of a light grey, more inclining 
to white than any meteoric stone of the United States, excepting 
that of Bishopsville. It abounds in pale yellow grains, which are 
robably olivinoid. In addition also to the howardite, it contains 
northite in small quantity. The nickél-iron and magnetic py- 
es are very minutely diffused ; while here and there, little specks 
f chrome iron may be detected.
