very thin skin has boon molted in its passai^o through tlio Jitmos- 

 phere. The fourth one was fjiven to me by John A. V<>()mans 

 Esq., of Gilgoin Station near Brewarrina, and the rnetodrite was

 been a long time upon the earth, for the aflootof rain and weather 



the original skin has disappeared under the action of w ind and 

 rain, and in places large pieces have evidently fallen oil'. In this 

 respect it differs mucirfrom the two from Barratta Station, which 

 do not seem to have suffered from wind and weather and have 

 only lost some pieces, which have been broken olF with a hammer.

 know nothing, but 1 hope our President Profe.ssor Li\er>idge, may

 Oilgoin one evidently once contained much iron, and has still 



oxidised since it fell upon the earth."
