''Since Kanda (1952) lists the Sakouchi as a hexahedrite, it is included 

 in this list. The information about this meteorite is incomplete and conflicting. 



* The composition lies along the border between the hexahedrites and the 

 coarse octahedrites. Because there is an absence of a noticeable octahedral 

 arrangement in these specimens, this iron is classified as a hexahedrite. 



3 This meteorite needs restudy. Although a large mass was found, only about 

 1.7 kg. is known today. 



10 When Roy and Wyant (1950) studied the Smithonia, Ga., iron, they found 

 no Neumann lines, the nickel content below 6 percent, and hence classified it as 

 a nickel-poor ataxite. In a later cut, which penetrated deeper into the meteorite, 

 Henderson and Furcron (1957) observed Neumann lines which established this 

 iron as a normal hexahedrite. 



^1 Weight not reported, but was calculated from the dimensions. 



METEORITES INCORRECTLY IDENTIFIED AND EXCLUDED 

 FROM THE HEXAHEDRITES 



Not included in the foregoing list of hexahedrites are seven 

 specimens incorrectly listed as hexahedrites. These are : 



1. Chihuahua City, Mexico. Although this iron was listed by 

 Hey (1953) as a brecciated hexahedrite, Nininger (1931) reported 

 it as having "a fine octahedral crystallization," Also Nininger
