382 Report on Meteorites. 
25. Peridot.—Iin very perfect 
crystals, (fig. 3, Rose), and -in 
rounded, transparent grains in the 
iron of Krasnojarsk; also in 
irregularly shaped individuals 
of. a pale, greenish yellow, or 
greyish white color, diffused 
through most of the ‘meteoric 
stones. 
— i. red grains, in no way distinguish- 
able from the variety pyrope, either in hardness, color, fracture, 
or behavior before the blowpipe. In the Nobleboro stone. 
27. Limonite—In the form of iron-ochre upon the outside of 
the iron-masses, and of iron rust upon the fresh fracture of sev- 
eral of ;the stones. 
Fig. 4. 28. Chrome-ore.—In crystals (fig. 4) in n the 
Ensisheim stone, and in grains, in that of Chas- 
wy signy. It likewise occurs in numerous — 
ee) oric irons. 
7 29, iinet Tron.—Found massive in the 
seams and coatings in the iron of Scriba; also 
in the form of a black powder (mixed with 
dyslytite) as a residuum gt the” ‘soluition at certain irons in 
the acids. 
30. Native Iron.—Massive. Sp. gr. =7-26...7-5, Color iron- 
grey. Tough. Fracture hackley ; subfibrous to granular. When 
etched, it exhibits on its polished surfaces, numerous shining; 
steel-like angular freckles, resembling the shining points which 
appear in certain nickeliferous irons, especially in the spaces be- 
tween the raised silvery lines in the Burlington iron. Seriba, 
N. Y., and Walker Co., Ala. 
The absence of nickel, chrome and cobalt in the Seriba iron, 
rendered its meteoric origin for a time doubtful; but the subse- 
quent discovery of the Walker Co., Ala. mass, ‘(weighing - 165 
pounds; and therefore too large to have been the product of | the 
forge, and found in an unsettled region where iron-works never 
exited; moreover possessing the drop-shaped figure of several ac- 
: dged meteor r-thasees;) eam leave no doubt of its extra-ter 
% 
26. Garnet.—In small, rich
