PEE 000.” THe SoutH BEND METEORITE. 23 
South Bend is the seventh pallasite to be discovered in the United 
States, the others recognized being Admire, Anderson, Brenham, 
Eagle Station, Mount Vernon and Port Orford. Of these Anderson 
is the nearest in locality to South Bend, but it is one hundred and 
fifty miles distant. In structure, moreover, it differs. In the char- 
acter of its etching figures and the fissured state of its chrysolite, 
South Bend resembles the Imilac pallasite more than that of Kras- 
-nojarsk. It therefore belongs to the Imilac group, and is the first 
representative of this group to be found in the United States. To. 
the meteorites of Indiana it adds a sixth, those now known from 
the State being as follows : 
Harrison County, Stone Cho. Fell March 28, 1859. 
Kokomo, Iron De. Found 1862. 
Plymouth, Iron Om. Found 1893. 
Rochester, Stone Ce. Fell Dec. 21, 1876. 
Rushville, Stone Cg, /.) “Found 1866 
South Bend, Iron-stone Pi. Found 1893 
The locations of the points of fall of the above meteorites are 
shown on the accompanying map of Indiana, Plate XVIII. A 
noticeable feature of the distribution of these falls is that all but 
one are along a north and south line close to the meridian of 86°. 
The three falls known in Michigan, viz: Allegan, Grand Rapids and 
Reed City, also follow closely the same meridian.
