May, 1902. METEORITE StTupieEs, I—FARRINGTON. 313 
The analysis, made by Mr. H. W. Nichols, and using the methods 
noted above for the Los Reyes meteorite, gave the following results: 
Amount of substance taken, 2,166.3 grams.

The other meteorites known to have been found in Indian mounds 
of this country are those of Octibbeha County, Mississippi, and the 
Turner Mounds, Ohio. In the Octibbeha County iron the quantity 
of nickel reaches 59.7%, and this sufficiently distinguishes it from any 
other known meteorite. The Turner Mound meteorites include 
masses from two different mounds, which were analyzed by Kinnicutt* 
with the following results: 
FROM MOuND NO. 3. FROM MOUND NO. 4.

It will be remembered that Kunz concluded from a comparison of 
the Turner Mounds meteorites with those of Kiowa County, Kansas, 
that on account of the marked similarity in constitution and structure 
they belonged to the same fall.* The Hopewell Mounds are only 
about seventy-five miles distant from’the Turner Mounds in an east- 
erly direction, and it might be expected that the same meteoric iron 
would have been used for the construction of the objects found in 
these mounds. The results of the analysis above given do not, how- 
ever, permit this conclusion, the differences in the percentages being 
greater than are known to occur among the individuals of a single 
fall. Comparison of etching figures is out of the question on account of 
the distortion of those of the Hopewell Mounds specimen, but the lack 
of any content of chrysolite such as characterizes the Turner Mounds
