ANALYSES OF METEORITES. 
STONY METEORITES. 
1. ROCKWOOD, TENNESSEE. 
From the Crab Orchard Mountains, Cumberland County, about 8} miles west. of 
Rockwood. Analyzed by J. E. Whitfield, record No. 735, and described by him in 
Bull. 60, p. 103. 
A. Analysis of the material as a whole. 
B. Nickel-iron separated. Forms not over 16 per cent of the mass. 
C. Nodule from meteorite. 
D. Portion of nodule, 94 per cent, insoluble in hydrochloric acid. May be enstatite. 
The stony part of the meteorite appears to be mainly pyroxene and anorthite. 
Fe,0, was not determined, and FeO represents the total iron oxide. 
2. HAMBLEN COUNTY, TENNESSEE. 
Mass of nearly half and half stone and iron found about 6 miles WSW. of Morristown. 
Analyzed by L. G. Eakins, and described in Bull. 113, p. 61. 
A. The nickel-iron. 
B. The part of the stony portion soluble in hydrochloric acid; 37.63 per cent, recal- 
culated to 100, with sulphur deducted. 
C. Insoluble part of the stony portion; 62.10 per cent, recalculated to 100. 
A petrographic description of this meteorite is given by Merrill in Am. Jour. Sci., 
4th ser., vol. 2, p. 149, together with an analysis of the feldspar. He finds it to contain 
in addition to the nickel-iron, enstatite, diallage, anorthite, olivine or monticellite, 
oldhamite or secondary gypsum derived from oldhamite, lawrenceite, troilite, and 
schreibersite.
