G. F. Kunz — Meteoric Iron from West Virginia. 147 



on the exterior of the iron have been accurately reproduced 

 by photography direct from the iron. (Original size as fol- 

 lows : length, Q6 mm ; width, 40'5 mm ; height, 33-o mm .) The 

 exact date of the fall of this iron is not known, and the surface 



where not cracked off is altered to limonite to a depth of 2 mm . 

 It belongs to the " grobe Lamellen " of the new classification of 

 Dr. A. Brezina. The Sevier County, Tenn., and the Arva 

 irons nearest approach it in structure. The following analysis 

 was kindly made by Mr. J. B. Mackintosh, E.M., of the 

 School of Mines, New York : — 



Iron ._ 91-56 



Phosphorus 0*13 



Nickel and cobalt (by difference) 8'31 



100-00 



The specific gravity of the figured mass is 7"344. The iron 

 does not show any Widmannstatten figures, the crystalline 

 structure being really brought out in relief by the schreibersite 

 between the crystalline surfaces of the iron. 



Since this iron was broken and scattered in small pieces, we 

 may expect to see them turn up as a number of different falls.
