G. F. Kunz—Meteorites from Kentucky and Mexico. 229 
tigation were published in connection with the description of 
the Atacama meteorites, because in structure they approached 
more closely to the latter than to those of any other occurrence. 
In the Liberty group of mounds in the same valley, Professor 
Putnam found‘a celt five inches long, and in another of the 
Turner mounds, an ornament five inches long and three inches 
wide, made also of this same meteoric iron. 
. It was not until after the above masses had been found that 
the Carroll County meteorite was brought to my notice; after 
a careful comparison I have reached the conclusion that the 
irons from the Ohio mounds and the Carroll County meteorite 
Carroll County Meteorite, upper side, 4 natural size. 
probably belong to one and the same meteoric fall. Hither the 
former was broken from the main mass by the mound-builders 
or they were all fragments of the same fall scattered as were 
the Estherville meteorites, or as suggested by Dr. J. Lawrence 
Smith, those of Coahuila, and further, by Huntington,* the 
Sevier, Cocke County, and Jenny’s Creek irons.
