are much broader and longer than in Cuernavaca, thus making 

 the figures much more prominent. 



An analysis of this meteorite made for Professor Ward by 

 Professor J. F. Whitfield, of Philadelphia, gave the following 

 results : 



Fe. 89.386. 



Ni. 8.180. 



Specific gravity is 7.6. 



From the close proximity of the farm on which this meteorite 

 was found to Reed City we will designate it as the "Reed City 

 Meteorite." 



The main mass of this iron was returned to the Michigan 

 Agricultural College, while the smaller end and one slice weigh- 

 ing 2.9 kilograms were added to the Ward-Coonley Collection of 

 Meteorites. 



Michigan has to the present time furnished but three meteor- 

 ites to the scientific world as far as described : 



Grand Rapids ----- found 1883 

 Reed City ----- found 1895 

 Allegan ------ fell July 10, 1890 



The first two are siderites, the last an aerolite.
