The remaining 44% is almost wholly Fe O and Mg O in approxi- 
mately equal proportions, with probably a little water and some minor 
ingredients. The composition is that usual to the chondritic meteor-

QUINN CANYON. 
This meteorite was found, according to Mr. Walter P. Jenney,* at 
the above locality in Nevada, in the latter part of August, 1908, by a 
prospector looking for borax. Mr. Jenney further states that the 
prospector cut off a few small pieces from the meteorite with a cold 
chisel and took them to Tonopah, Nevada, for identification. Soon - 
after he sold out his interest in the find and left the country. The pur- 
chaser of the prospector’s interest placed suchinformation as he had in 
the hands of Mr. Jenney with a view to rediscovering the meteorite. As 
a very imperfect description of the locality where the meteorite was 
situated had been obtained from the original discoverer, it was nec- 
essary for him to make two trips to the region before the mass could 
be relocated. These trips, made by automobile, required 430 miles 
of travel. The place of find was in the foothills of the Quinn Canyon 
range of mountains, Nye County, Nevada. These mountains are 
marked on some maps as the Grant Mountains. The locality is go 
miles east from Tonopah, 18 miles north from the Mt. Diablo base 
line, and roo miles west of the Utah boundary. The meteorite was 
found on the western slope of the range and on the northern slope of 
a low hill of andesite. The slope was a gentle one and the contour
