66 MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 
The only other Queensland meteorites apart from the Glenormiston one- 
known to the author are an undescribed siderite (coarsest octahedrite) weighing 
14 J, cwt., found near Gladstone and disposed of by Mr. B. Dunstan to Wards 
Natural History Establishment, New York, and an undescribed collection of 102 
fragments of various sizes and aerolitic in character which were seen to fall on 
Tenharu Station near the junction of Cooper and Kyabra Creeks, in South- 
western Queensland, in the year I860, by Mr. M. Hammond and his brothers. 
The Mungindi No. 1 and No. 2 weigh 51 lb. and 62 lb. respectively, are 
finest octahedrite (off., Brezina) or fine octahedrite (of., Farrington), and were 
found in 1907 three miles north of Mungindi, which is on the border of 
Queensland and New South Wales in Lat. 29° S., Long. 149° E. The specimens 
are now in the Mining and Geological Museum, Sydney. 
The meteorite recorded in the Ward and Coonley Collection is a broad 
octahedrite (og.) and came from Southern Queensland.' As the only meteorite 
of this type known in Queensland is the Gladstone meteorite, and as a part of 
this has been missing for many years, it is possible that this represents the 
missing portion. 
The Thunda siderite weighed 137 lb., is a medium octahedrite (om.), 
and was found in 1886 at Windorah in the Diamantina district, Lat. 25 ° 25 ' S., 
Long. 142° 40' E., some 300 miles south-east of Glenormiston. It was described 
by the late Professor A. Liversidge, F.R.S. (Proc. Roy. Soc. N.S.W., vol. 20, 
p. 73, also vol. 22, p. 341). 
Its density is given as 7-78 and its composition as nickel iron containing 
a trace of cobalt together with sulphur, phosphorus, and carbon. “ The pittings 
are very large and cup-like and some of them almost perforate the meteorite” 
(Proc. Roy. Soc. N.S.W., xxii, p. 341). 
“ This meteorite is also remarkable for the many nodules of sulphide of 
iron which it contains” (A.A.A.S., vol. ii, 1890, p. 387). 
In Bull. 94 U.S. Nat. Museum the analysis by E. Cohen of this meteorite 
is given, and from it Cohen calculated the mineral composition to be as 
follows : — 
Per cent 
Nickel iron 
98-85 
Schreibersite 
1-09 
Troilite 
0-05 
Chromite 
0-01 
The following particulars relating to the Gladstone meteorite, which was 
purchased by Ward's Natural History Establishment, New York, some time ago, 
have been kindly furnished by Mr. B. Dunstan, Chief Government Geologist. : — 
It was found in 1914 four miles due south of Gladstone, two and a-half 
miles north-west from Tooloola Siding, was approximately 33 inches by 12 
inches by 9 inches (mean dimensions), has a density of 7-75, and weighs 
14| cwt.
