“The polished surface does not show the Weidmanstattian figures, 
probably from the surface being at the wrong angle, but the par- 
ticles of native iron are arranged in a reticulated or cellular manner. 
“ The depositions of the men who first saw the specimens forwarded 
are as follows : — 
“ Regarding the larger specimen, Bunnoo Bin Athert says : — 
“ 1 On Sunday, the 12th May, as I was sitting in a field in company 
of a number of villagers, we were startled by three loud reports which 
were succeeded by a rumbling sound which gradually died away. We 
were on the East side of the village, and our attention was imme- 
diately attracted by a cloud of dust which rose from the ground at a 
distance of 15 biggahs from us. There was nothing seen to fall, but 
there was a whistling sound something like that which accompanies 
a bullet, but much louder. We rushed to the spot and found the 
stone exactly in its present state as far as I can judge. The ground 
had been thrown out all round it for about two feet. For two days 
nobody touched it, as it was said to be Mahadeo. A faqueer then 
brought it to the place' near the village from whence your servant, 
15 days after, took it away. There was no cloud at the time, and it 
was very hot and calm. Every one was very much frightened and 
the cattle all ran away.’ 
“ With regard to the other two pieces from Bullooah, Ruder Moo- 
suhar says, 
“ ‘ On the 12th May as I was taking the cattle to water I was 
startled by three very loud reports, and saw a light high up in the 
air which fell to the ground within three biggahs of where I was, 
I went up to the place from whence the sand had been raised up 
from the ground, and found five pieces of stone. They were very 
hot, and the sand all round was the same and thrown up all round 
there to the depth of a foot. 
“ ‘ There was a very small cloud where the report came from ; it was 
otherwise clear, calm, and extremely hot. 1 was very much frighten- 
ed, and sat down, being afraid to move.’ 
“ On being further questioned, he said 
“ ‘ First there was the loud report and about the same time I saw 
the light, like a flame ; then the stone fell ; whilst falling it made 
a great noise, and after falling the sand was taken up high into 
the sky.’
