Mr. F. E. Mallet communicated the following correction, received 

 from Mr. Hugh Eraser, regarding the particulars already reported of the 

 fall of the Dandapur meteorite (see ' Proceedings' for November). 



" A few days ago I made enquiries on the spot regarding the third 

 fragment of meteorite, said to have fallen at the same time as the two frag- 

 ments I sent in September. I find that no other fragment fell, and the 

 police in their report evidently mixed up two stories about one fragment 

 which fell on the border of a tank or jMi. I can also find no one who 

 says he saw anything like a cloud or smoke, as was reported. The story" 

 they told me was that about 5 in the afternoon a loud noise, like " sun sun 

 sun" was heard. Some say it seemed to approach from the north-east ; but 

 others say it seemed merely to be straight above. Then there was a loud 

 report like a single clap of thunder, but nothing was visible, and they 

 thought it was some god passing, or a fire -work like a bomb. One fragment 

 fell in a darzi's house-yard. The earth was hard there, so it did not make a 

 hole. No one was present at the moment, but when they came up, a 

 gJiari afterwards, the stone was not hot, and had a whitish flush over it 

 (as far as I can make out) like charcoal when it cools. The other frag- 

 ment fell in some marshy land, distant 700 paces, as far as I could measure
