464 Notices of Memoirs—Dr. Flight— 
During the study of Hymenocaris it was found that “H.? major,” 
Salter, comprises a Ceratiocaris possibly matching the Tremadoc 
specimens assigned to the genus by Mr. Salter; and it has there- 
fore been put under the most authentic (C. insperatus) of the two 
Tremadoe species noticed by him. 
The Australian Hymenocaris Saltert, M‘Coy, having been assigned 
by Mr. Salter to Caryocaris, when he was studying that group in 
1862, it has been regarded as a member of the latter genus. 
With Caryocaris Marri, Hicks, is a specimen associated under 
the same name in the Woodwardian Museum, that proves to be an 
Entomidella; as it differs somewhat from the known species of that 
genus, it is now named H. Marrii. Of the other specimens named 
C. Marrii, some do not differ from C. Wrightii, Salter ; but one retains 
the specific name given by Dr. Hicks. | 
Besides the Lingulocaris lingulecomes, Salter, some casts in the 
British Museum seem to warrant the adoption of a new name, L. 
siliquiformis, for a different but allied form. 
Ti].—Examination oF THE MErTEoRITE WHICH FELL ON THE 16TH 
Frpruary, 1883, ar ALFIANELLO, in the District of Verolannova, 
in the Province of Brescia, Italy. By Watrer Fuieut, D.Sc., 
HGS. 
GATHER from a short preliminary notice, which has been sent 
by M. Denza to Professor Daubrée, and has been published in 
a recent number of the “Comptes Rendus,” a few particulars respect- 
ing the fall of this stone, and its general appearance. 
The fall took place, with a loud detonation, at 2°55 p.m. on the 
day above mentioned; it was heard in the neighbouring provinces 
of Cremona, Verona, Mantua, Piacenza, and Parma. In Alfianello 
it is described as “ épouvantable.” 
It descended from N.N.E. to §.S.W. ata distance of about 150 
métres from a peasant, who fell fainting to the ground; telegraphic 
wires were set in motion, and the windows were shaken. It struck 
the ground about 800 métres south-west of Alfianello, in a field on 
an estate called Frosera, penetrating the soil, in the same direction 
as it passed through the air, from east to west, to a depth of about 
1 métre, the path through the soil being about 1:50 metre. When 
taken out of the ground, it was still a little warm. It fell complete, 
but was at once broken to pieces by the farmer of the estate. 
The stone is oval in form, and somewhat flattened in the centre, 
the lower part being larger and convex, like a kettle, the upper part 
being truncated. The surface is covered with the usual black crust, 
and strewn with little cavities, now met with as individuals, now in 
groups, and in the eyes of some people bearing a resemblance to the 
impression of a hand or the foot of a she-goat. The stone weighs 
about 200 kilos. 
In structure this meteorite belongs to the group Sporadosideres 
oligosideres, and resembles Aumalite, being almost identical with the 
meteorite of New Concord, Ohio.
