other falls. Its structure is much more highly chondritic than that of 
either of the above, and the peculiarities of the chondri, which have 
been so fully described by Washington that they need not here be again 
enumerated, render them unique. There remain then only Kansada 
and Wellmanville to be compared as to structure with the other 
finds. Regarding these two, however, no further data can at 
present be obtained. No details as to their intimate structure have 
been published and I do not know the present whereabouts of the 
stones. It would not be surprising, when an opportunity for com- 
parison presents itself, to find that Kansada could with good reason 
be connected with either Jerome or Franklinville and Wellmanville 
with Franklinville. Still, each might prove to be a separate fall, for 
as may be noted, there is no inherent improbability in supposing falls 
to take place within a short distance of each other at different times. 
The falls of Homestead and Hartford, lowa, were, for instance, 
separated only about thirty miles and the character of the stones was 
not very different. The interval of time was twenty-eight years. 
Castine and Searsmont were separated by only about twenty miles in 
distance and twenty-three years in time. These are quite similar 
stones. The Estherville and Forest City falls were distant not over 
sixty miles from each other and took place within an interval of eleven 
years. Here, however, the character of the -stones was quite different. 
Doubtless many other instances of falls approaching near each other 
in space and time could be found by searching. The citing of even 
the above is, however, sufficient to lead one to the conviction that 
classing together into one fall meteorites found in different localities 
is a work that should be performed with caution. 
TOLUCA {LOS REYES), MEXICO, D. F. 

MUSEUM No. Me. 454. 

This meteorite was obtained for the Museum in the spring of 
1897 from Mr. E. O. Matthews of the City of Mexico. It was brought 
him by some native Mexicans or peons who reported that they had 
found it some months before, at Los Reyes, while ploughing. This is 
all the evidence obtainable regarding the manner of its discovery. 
The meteorite is of the metallic variety (aérosiderite) and is a complete 
individual. Its weight entire is 43 pounds (19.5 kilos). Its form 
(illustrated by the accompanying cuts, Plate XLVI), is roughly that of 
a steep triangular pyramid whose greatest length is 24 cm. (9% inches), 
and greatest width 15 cm. (6 inches). The sides of the pyramid are
