332 GUERNSEY COUNTY (OHIO) METEORITES. 



In the first part of this paper it was stated that this fall was 

 quite as remarkable as that near l'Aigle, in France, in 1803. 

 Although it does not equal this latter in the number of stones 

 that were collected, it exceeds it in the size of the stones that 

 fell. The largest of the 1 'Aigle stones weighed seventeen and 

 a half pounds, while the largest in the present case was one 

 hundred and three pounds. 



There are many points of coincidence in the phenomena and 

 circumstances attending the two falls. Were I to copy Biot's 

 description of the phenomena of the fall at l'Aigle, as detailed 

 to the Academy of Sciences nearly sixty years ago, it would 

 be but a repetition of what has been written in the first part 

 of this paper. 



The date of fall at l'Aigle was the 26th of April; the date 

 of the Guernsey fall May 1st. Time of the day of the former, 

 one o'clock; of the latter, twenty minutes of one; the direc- 

 tion of both falls, from south-east to north-west. The extent 

 of surface covered by the first, seven and a half miles wide by 

 two and a half broad ; by the latter, ten miles long by three 

 wide; and both were seen by a large number of persons.
