Described Ellenboro, Rutherford Co., North Carolina. 
153 1890. Spheroidal mass showing natural and etched sur-

to be highly crystalline, and to possess octahe- 
dral cleavage. (W.) 1,506 
Found 1891. | Cafion Diablo, Arizona. 
141 *Three complete individuals apparently scaled off 
from alarger mass. All show the smooth sur- 
face and characteristic pits of this iron. (W.) 844 
142 *Complete individual, ovoid in form. Crust and 
pits like No. 141. (W.) 552 
143 Complete individual, weight, 1013 pounds. (See 
Pl. III, Fig. 8.) Besides the shallow pits shown 
in the figure the mass is indented by deeper cyl- 
indrical ones, three to fourcm. indepth. (W.) {460,304 
144 Full-sized slab with polished and etched surfaces. 
The W. f. are very coarse, arranged in approx- 
imately parallel bands. Large nodules of 
troilite and flakes of schreibersite are scattered 
2 through the mass. (W.) 2,934 
145 *Small, complete individual, like No. 141. (W.) 165 
146 Complete individual weighing 265 pounds, (See PI. 
Ill, Fig. 8.) The chain by which it is suspended 
passes through a natural perforation about 3 cm. 
in its smallest diameter. (W.)  4120,657 
147 *Full-sized slab showing polished and etched sur- 
faces like No. 144. (W.) 4,309 
148 Nearly complete individual showing deep and shal- 
low pits. One etched surface exhibits nodules 
of troilite and indications of crystalline struc- 
ture. (W.) | 23,590 
149 Complete individual, sub-cylindrical in form. Ex- 
hibits the characteristic pittings. (K.) | 90,898 
150 Thick slab, polished, showing nodules of troilite. 
(K.) | 26,047 
151 Hemispheroidal mass. One polished surfaceshow 
troilite nodules. (K.) 24,489 
152 *One large and several small fragments with natu- 
ral surface. (K.) 1,814 
373 *Complete individual showing pitsand natural sur- 
face. Apparently scaled from a larger mass. (W.) 670
