360 N. R. Leonard—lowa County Meteor. 
en. 
9. C. D. Leggett, Esq., of Fairfield (25-72-10), estimated its 
however, be at variance with No. 7, and the only explanation I 
can offer is by saying that it is very difficult for a man to fix, 
at a glance, the point directly over head, so that we may 
suspect this observation to be in error. No. 4 corresponds to a 
point about sixty eight miles from the place where the largest 
fragment was found, and gives for the altitude fifteen miles. 
No. 6 indicates a point thirty-eight miles from the same place, 
and gives for the altitude twelve miles. No. 1 indicates three 
points in the meteor path, the first nearly accordant with that 
given by No. 4, and gives about the same result as to height ; 
the second point denoted is at a distance of about twenty-two 
miles from the end of the path, and at an altitude of eight 
miles; and the third point is two miles from the end of the 
path, and at an altitude of two miles. : 
igure 1 shows these results to the eye. The sides of the 
squares are four miles. The points 1, 2, 38, and 4 are sixty-eight, 
thirty-eight, twenty-two, and two miles from where the argest 
stone fell. The heights at 1 and 4 of the figure I consider the 
most reliable; those at 2 and 3 are somewhat uncertain, OwIng 
to some uncertainty in the azimuth given by the observations.
