Concerning the appearance of the fragments obtained, No. 1 

 is of a black-brown color ; No. 7, white, and very brittle to the 

 touch ; and the rest nearly all j^resent a dark-gray, stony ap- 

 pearance, with particles of metal disseminated through the 

 mass. Nos. 8 and 10 are in part covered with a black rind of 

 fused material, while No. 14 is noticeable for the brilliancy of 

 the metal specks scattered through its stony portion.
