  Two 
  new 
  American 
  Meteorites. 
  

  

  "This 
  meteorite 
  was 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  fifties 
  in 
  Central 
  Missouri, 
  

   and 
  after 
  being 
  cut 
  in 
  halves, 
  one-half 
  went 
  to 
  the 
  late 
  Prof. 
  

   Wm. 
  Denton 
  and 
  the 
  other 
  half 
  was 
  purchased 
  of 
  Mrs. 
  

   Newcomer 
  (of 
  Cleveland) 
  by 
  the 
  late 
  Judge 
  C. 
  C. 
  Baldwin, 
  

   and 
  by 
  him 
  presented 
  to 
  the 
  Society." 
  

  

  An 
  analysis 
  of 
  this 
  siderite 
  by 
  Mariner 
  and 
  Hoskins 
  of

  The 
  small 
  amount 
  of 
  carbon 
  is 
  probably 
  due 
  to 
  the 
  fact 
  

   that 
  the 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  mass 
  used 
  for 
  analysis 
  was 
  free 
  from 
  

   the 
  black 
  graphite-like 
  veins. 
  

  

  As 
  no 
  more 
  definite 
  locality 
  can 
  be 
  traced 
  as 
  the 
  location 
  in 
  

   which 
  this 
  iron 
  was 
  found, 
  we 
  will 
  designate 
  for 
  this 
  iron 
  the 
  

   name, 
  Central 
  Missouri.
