Art. L—WNotice of Meteoric Iron near Lion River, Great 
._ Namaqualand, South Africa ; and of the detection of Potas- 
sium in Meteoric Iron: by Cuartes Upuam Sueparp, M.D. 
1. Tue meteoric mass now described, was brought from the 
Cape of Good Hope to London in July, by Mr. Gill, for Mr. John 
Gibbs; with instructions to dispose of it there on his account. 
Prof. J. Tennant, mineralogist to her majesty, having become 
the purchaser, transferred it to me in a very obliging manner ; 
and it is now deposited in my meteoric collection in Amherst 
Szconp Series, Vol. XV, No. 48.—Jan,, 1853.
