Large slabs (10,985 grams) of the Fayette County, Texas, sider- 
olite; Estherville, Emmett County, Iowa, stone, several large 
masses; Eagle Station, Carroll County, Kentucky, iron; Atacama, 
Chile, siderolite; and many others. 
Cases S and. 6. — Siderolite, or Pallasite, from Kiowa 
County, Kansas, found 1889, nine pieces. The mass in Case 5 
weighs 465 pounds, the largest in Case 6, 344.5 pounds. There are 
also three smaller masses, and three or four slabs cut to show the 
structure of the iron, the cavities of which will be seen to be filled 
with olivine. 
Case 8. — Aerolite from Phillips County, Kansas. One large 
mass broken into 2,934 pieces. The aggregate weight of these is 
1184.5 pounds, making the largest weight of any single meteoric 
stone known to be collected in one case. The surface will be 
seen to be deeply pitted and oxidized. The stone as it fell struck 
upon a ledge, shattering it into a large number of pieces. All that 
could be found of these were collected, and are shown in this 
case. 
Cases 7 and 10. — Casts of notable meteorites. 
Cases 9 and 11. — Models of the enormous Chihuahua, 
Mexico, siderites, masses which have never been removed from 
their original position, and have been seen only by travelers. 
Case 12. — Two large masses of Canon Diablo, Arizona, me- 
teorites, weight 1013 and 265 pounds. This locality has recently 
been discovered and described by Prof. A. E. Foote, and has 
yielded a large number of specimens. Recent investigations by 
Mr. Geo. F. Kunz show the presence in these meteorites of minute 
diamonds.
