NAME AND DESCRIPTION. 

Farmington, Washington Co., Kansas. 
Large section of complete individual, showing 
crust and one polished surface. The crust sur- 
face is rounded, but the usual pittings are absent. 
Bead-like projections mark the presence of me- 
tallic nodules which resisted fusion. (W.) 
Full-sized slab, polished. The delicate ‘veins 
filled with metal, noted by Preston, are beauti- 
fully exhibited in this specimen. (W.) 
Nearly complete individual. The metallic beads 
on the surface are numerous, and the scale-like 
crust seems to be largely metallic. In other 
respects like previous specimen. (K.) 
Section showing natural and polished surfaces. 
The latter shows several fissures filled with metal, 
running in two directions. (K.) 
Long Island, Phillips Co., Kansas. 
Nearly complete individual, made up of four 
pieces which have been placed together along the 
line of original fracture. The other 2,930 pieces, 
varying in weight from 10,000 grammes to 5 
grammes, were probably also a part of the same 
individual at the time it fell to the earth. The 
surface of the main mass is indented by shallow, 
elliptical pits, the long axes of which run in par- 
allel directions. The crust is smooth and brown, 
but in many places coated with a white incrusta- 
tion of carbonate of lime, derived from the soil 
in which the stone lay. The interior of the mass 
shows a very compact, fine-grained texture, with 
few metallic grains; color, blue-gray. The smaller 
fragments are much rusted by exposure. (K.) 
Bath, South Dakota. 
Irregular fragment, with crust and polished sur- 
face. Thecrust surface is indented with broad, 
shallow pits. Crust, dull-black, papillated, not 
more than .3 mm. in thickness. Interior, gray- 
ish-brown, of fine-granular structure, contain- 
ing minute metallic grains. A portion shows 
‘“‘slickensided”’ surface. (W.) 
Beaver Creek, British Columbia. 
Fragment, with crust. Interior, dark gray, made 
up of small, glassy chondri, and fine metallic 
grains. (W.) 
Like previous specimen. Crust dull black, about 
.3 mm. thick, (W.) 
(DATE NOT KNOWN.) 
Terni, Italy. 
Fragment, with crust. Crust dull-black, scoriace- 
ous, nearly .2mm. in thickness. Interior of 
stone light bluish-gray. Shows chondri and 
metallic grains. (W.)
