METEORITES OF NORTHWESTERN KANSAS 

 BY O. C. FARRINGTON 



[Abstract'] 



Of the thirteen meteorites known from Kansas, six have been found within an 

 area 115 miles long by 85 miles broad, in the northwestern part of the state. As 

 these all resemble each other in outward appearance, the question has been raised 

 as to whether the}-^ belong to a single fall. In deciding the question the probable 

 course of a meteor and the structure and composition of the meteorites should be 

 discussed. It is shown that the probable course of the meteor would have been 

 from southeast to northwest and not from southwest to northeast, as would be re- 

 quired if the meteorites belonged to a single fall. As regards structure and com- 

 position, three of the meteorites have been studied while the otherthree have not. 

 Results of studies of two of the latter, Long Island and Frankliuville, are given 

 and tlie Long Island meteorite shown to be, in several respects, remarkable. The 

 conclusion is reached that two of the meteorites may belong to one fall, but that 

 the others are single individual falls.
