Analyses by W. F. Hillebrand, record No. 1444. 
A. Nickel-iron. 
B. Nonmagnetic, stony portion. 
C. Portion of B soluble in hydrochloric acid, calculated to 100 per 
;ent. 
D. Insoluble portion, calculated to 100 per cent. From C and D 
roilite and chromite are excluded. The chromite forms about 0.75
