Report on Meteorites. 87 
oxyd of iron that corresponded to 94°57 per cent. of metallic 
iron; and the solution possessed an intensely azure blue color, 
which I ascertained to proceed chiefly from the presence of cop- 
per, though nickel and cobalt were also both detected in the 
liquid. This little meteorite, therefore, contains the following ele- 
ments :—iron, copper, nickel, cobalt, sulphur, carbon, tin? and 
possibly chromium. 
Notwithstanding this specimen comes from the same county 
with the Burlington iron, still its peculiar physical and chemical 
properties, leave no doubt of it having formed a totally indepen- 
dent body ; and for aught that yet appears, two hundred and sev- 
enty-six grains in weight constitutes the totality of the fall!

c. Franconia, New Hampshire —The following note from 
Roserr Gitmore, Esq. of Baltimore, leads me to believe that a 
mass of meteoric iron was obtained by this gentleman, ten or 
twelve years ago in New Hampshire. * It was supposed ; 
J. F. Dana (late Prof. of Chemistry in Dartmouth College) to be 
native iron. I purchased it at a village about twelve miles this side 
Baltimore Academy of Science, in whose kee v 
sight of, during the destruction of the building by fire.
