(table 4), exceeds the scatter of stony meteorites from most of the

 account for in accepting the apparent clustering of these irons as 

 evidence of a shower of meteorites. 



Only the Chico Mountain, Tex., iron requires further mention 

 here. Acquired by the U. S. National Museum in 1915 from E. M.
