Fell 1861, Butsura, Goruckpur, Ind ia. 
May 12. Fragments with crust and polished surfaces. Iron 
is present in large amount, forming a matrix in 
which are held chondri 1 mm. in diameter, of 
an olivine-like mineral. The rest of the ground- 
mass is greenish-black, structureless. (W.) 
Fell 1861, Klein=lenow, lt-Strelitz, Mecklenberg. 
Octal: Fragment from interior, made up of coarse, trans- 
T3830 Bes parent grains with rusty metallic ones, the whole 
resembling a piece of brown sandstone. (W.)

Aug. 8, Fragment from interior. Dark-gray, compact. 
12:30 P. M. Made up of dark, transparent grains with a large

Fragment from interior, polished. Made up chiefly 
ot metallic grains, and a dark-brown, olivine-

appearance of having acellular structure. The

of chondri which make up the mass of the stone. 
Some of the chondri reach a diameter of 3 mm.
