J. L. Smith— New Wisconsin Meteorie Stone. 209 
were so strikingly similar to those of the Meno, I was interested 
to ascertain the mineralogical and chemical relations of the two. 
An examination was made of this last meteorite, the result 
of which is placed in contrast with those obtained from the 
Claywater meteorite,

It will be observed that the specific gravity of the Meno 
here given, is lower than that stated in Poggendorf’s Annalen, 
Cxvl, 637, it being there given as 4:1; but this must have

Wm Nevill, of London, which were examined in my usual

of the two as made out by me do not differ more than those 
» ‘wo fragments of the same meteorite, while they both differ 
in their physical aspects from the ordinary type of meteorites, 
wa in fact, they have few or no parallels in the collections of 
ese bodies; there are certainly none in mine, embracing stony 
Meteorites representing over one hundred falls.
