Lead in the Raipue District: Centeal Peovinces. —To the information already given 
regarding this lode of lead-ore but little has been added since then (see Records, Geological 
Survey of India, 1862, Pt. 2, p. 37). At the close of the season, Mr. Smart, the Revenue 
Surveyor engaged in that district, completed a small plan of the locality and immediate vicinity 
on a scale of four inches to the mile. He found fragments of the metallic vein scattered 
upon the top of the hill, on which it was seen for a distance of half a mile from the spot 
where it was discovered last year-. ‘ The direction of dip of the vein could not be ascertained 
owing to the confused and fractured arrangement of the surface rocks.’ Mr. Smart had no 
means of proving the vein. 
I hope to be able to have the locality examined this season.—T. 0. 
Meteoeites. —To the kindness of Dr. Waldie we are indebted for the remaining 
portion of the specimen of the Khetree stone, (fell February 1867), which he analysed 
with care, and of which he gave an excellent description at the meeting of the Asiatic Society in 
June 1869. Dr. Waldie states how it is frequently so difficult to procure specimens of these 
highly interesting bodies which fall from the heavens, as the people, in their ignorance 
looking upon such visitors as evidence of the wrath of their deities, carefully reduce to 
powder and dissipate all the pieces which they can procure. Only two pieces are known to 
exist, both small; one is in the collection of the Asiatic Society, and this one in the collection 
of the Geological Survey. 
From Dr. Tschermak, the successor of the much regretted Dr. Moritz Hornes, in charge 
of the Imperial Mineral Cabinet at Vienna, we have also received a very good specimen of 
the fall which occurred at Slav e tic, in Croatia, on the 22nd May, 1868, and described by the 
indefatigable Haidinger, on the 3rd December, 1868, to the Academy of Sciences, Vienna. 
Also, a specimen of the Ornans (Doub) fall, of which we were already in possession of 
a fine piece through the good offices of M. Marcou, (see Records, Geological Survey of India, 
February, 1869). This fall took place on 11th July, 1868. 
Also, a specimen of the very interesting stone which fell at Kraheuberg near Zwci- 
briieken (Pfalz) on the 5th May, 1869. 
These valuable additions to our numerous collection are further proofs of the friendly 
aid and co-operation we have invariably experienced from the Geologists of Austria.
