As this county has of late afforded two other localities of mete- 
oric iron, I have taken pains to ascertain as nearly as possible the 
exact position of each. The Hon. T. J. Clingman informs me, 
that this locality is six miles north of Asheville, on the estate of 
Col. Baird, who is of opinion that other fragments may there be 
found, as he has within two years observed small pieces of rusty 
iron in the same field from which Dr. Hardy’s mass was obtained. 
Farther experiments on the composition of this iron, enable me 
toadd to what was before made known, that it contains cobalt, 
magnesium and phosphorus; and that the nickel is sometimes 
present in a ratio as high as 5 p.c., while the silicon is consider- 
ably below 0-5 p.c., as formerly quoted.
