Non ofall or Bind: NAME AND DESCRIPTION. 
Found 1889. | Hopper, Henry Co., Virginia. 
108 This meteorite is usually known by the name of 
Henry County, but as the place of find is 
accurately given near the present post-office 
of Hopper, the above name seems desirable. 
Both Wilfing and Berwerth inquire whether 
this meteorite should not be classed with 
Locust Grove, but the two bear no resemblance 
in structure and the localities are three hun- 
dred miles apart. The Hopper iron somewhat 
resembles, however, that of Smith’s Mountain 
in structure and composition and the localities 
are only eighteen miles apart.

Iron. Hexahedrite, H. There seems to be no 
evidence of brecciation in this iron sufficient

polished. This surface is of bright nickel- 
white color and exhibits numerous parallel 
rows of rhabdite inclusions. The crust surface 
shows rather deep pittings. Cat. No., 154. 7,426
