VICTORIAN METEORITES, WITH NOTES ON OBSIDIANITES. 
of silvery lustre, with a small amount of fine quartz grains, from 
which the schreibersite was removed by the magnet. In the 
analysis the schreibersite was dissolved in aqua regia, the action 
of nitric acid alone being very slow. 
Cohenite. — On solution of this substance in aqua regia, a 
reddish-brown flocculent residue was observed, which was partly 
but not completely, soluble in strong hydrochloric acid. It filtered 
clearly, but on washing with pure water the precipitate ran through 
the filter, and separated out as a dark brown colloidal solution in 
the filtrate. This was due to the condition of the carbon in the 
cohenite, and difficulty was observed subsequently in neutralization 
for the basic acetate separation. An exactly similar effect and 
difficulty in filtering was obtained on grinding up a pure iron ore 
with a minute quantity of bituminous brown coal.”
