by the assistance of the Hon. C. J. Albright; but from the 

 diminished scale of the map it is impossible to place a number 

 by each dot intended to represent the locality of a meteoric 

 stone. No. 1 on the map is the spot where the largest stone 

 was found, weighing one hundred and three pounds; No. 2 is 

 the next largest, weighing fifty-six pounds ; and No. 3 the small- 

 est, weighing eight ounces. The largest were at the north-west 

 extremity and the smallest at the south-east. The space over 

 which they were scattered was about ten miles long by three 

 miles broad. The following is a catalogue of twenty-four:

Others have been found, but I have no correct record of 

 their exact position. 



Some fifteen of these stones have come under my observa- 

 tion. They are all irregular in shape, cuboidal, wedge-shaped, 

 globular, and every conceivable form that irregular fragments 

 of stone may be supposed to possess. They all have the well- 

 known black coating, with a sharp outline between the coating 

 and gray mass of the stone, and there is quite a uniformity in 

 the character of the coating in both small and large stones. 



When broken this meteor exhibits a gray mass, with me- 

 tallic particles of nickeliferous iron,* resembling the stones I

 to pyrites.
