Aet. XXXYIII.— The Elm Creek Aerolite ; by Kenneth S. 



Howard . 



Another aerolite from Kansas lias just been obtained by 

 Ward's Natural Science Establishment, of Rochester, ]S T . Y. 

 It is of especial interest as having been found near Admire, 

 Lyon County, where the Admire pallasite was found in 1902. 



The Elm Creek Aerolite. 



About May 10, 1906, J. R. Waters ploughed up the meteor- 

 ite some three miles N.JST.E. of Admire. It was buried about 

 eight inches deep in a field that up to that time had never 

 been cultivated to any depth. Mr. Waters also says that "it 

 was on a slope where the soil would wash off of it instead of 

 burying it up deeper." The exterior of the stone exhibits con- 

 siderable oxidation, so that it has evidently lain in the ground 

 for a number of years. There have been so many aerolites
