468 G. F. Kunz — American Meteorites. 



is gray and granular in structure, and has all the appearance 

 of a common gray pebble inserted in the iron. The surface of 

 the meteorite is deeply pitted and in many spots traces of a 

 black crust are still visble; the pitting measures 1 to 4 cm across. 

 On one side a fungoid growth has slightly stained it green. 

 Microscopic sections were made, and in these it was seen that 

 the olivine did not occur in separate crystals, but rather in ag- 

 gregations of irregularly shaped grains, surrounded by brown 

 ferruginous veins and with banded anorthite grains interspersed 



here and there. These aggregations are full of black microlites, 

 glass masses and needle-shaped clear crystals, and are imbedded 

 in the metallic iron without any border of alteration. The 

 boundary line is perfectly sharp, fresh and distinct, in which 

 characteristic it differs from the meteorite from Powder Mill 

 Greek. The olivine appears to be fresh, but is clouded with 

 the brown ferruginous stains abundantly scattered through it 

 and between the grains. The following analyses were kindly 

 furnished me by Mr. J. Edward Whitfield, and were made before 

 its identity with the Newton County, Arkansas, meteorite was 

 suspected. He says : 



" The analysis of the metallic portion is as follows : 



Fe 89-41 



Ni . 10-41 



Co -29 



P -16 



100-27 



Of the rocky portion I have made an analysis of the whole part, 

 i. e., not separated as soluble and insoluble, but with the metallic 

 part separated. 



The analysis is as follows :
