Meteorites.—D uring the past quarter we have received an addition of four specimens 
of meteorites, representing 3 falls, of which no specimens existed in the Calcutta collections 
previously. 
1st.—From Dr. Tscitermak. the present zealous Director of the Mineral Cabinet at 
Vienna, came a very perfect, though not large, specimen of the fall at Hessle, near Upsala, 
which took place on the 1st of January 1869. And a very good specimen of the remarkable 
stone-fall which took place at Kernoure, Napoleonvilfe, Morbihan, France, on the 23rd 
May 1869. 2ndly, from Professor Daiibeee, Paris, we have received a fine specimen 
of the meteoric iron from Deesa, Chili, peculiarly interesting, not only for the breccia- 
form structure which it presents (recalling the Tula fall), but for the occurrence in it of very 
well marked crystals of Enstatite, colourless and transparent and of a purity not hitherto 
met with, also crystals of Peridot, of Schreibersite, and of a lamellar substance closely allied 
to Rypersthene. And also a second smaller specimen of the Ivernouve (or Cleguerec) fall 
of the 23rd May 1869. These were all in exchange for specimens of Indian falls.

DONATIONS TO MUSEUM. 
From Colonel H. C. Johnstone we have received a box of fossils collected by him 
in the Sulyman Eange. There has not been time as yet to examine these in detail.
