Others have been found but I have no correct record of their 
exact position. : 
me fifteen of these stones have come under my observation; 
they are all irregular in shape, cuboidal, wedge-shaped, glo’ 
and every conceivable form that irregular fragments of stone 
may be supposed to possess; they all have the well-known 
black coating with a sharp outline between the coating and gre 
mass of the stone, and there is quite a uniformity in the charae- 
ter of the coating in both small and large stones. 
When broken this meteor exhibits a grey mass, with metallic 
particles of nickeliferous iron,* resembling the stones I examined 
that fell in Harrison county, Indiana, on the 28th of March, 
1859, the latter however is the coarser grained of the two. Prof. 
epard who is familiar with the meteoric st preserved in tl 
cabinets of this country and in Europe, says: -“In its internal 
ee it approaches the stone of Iekaterinoslaw, Russi. sarip ak
