CATALOGUE OF THE
COLLECTION OF METEORITES

CATALOGUE OF THE COLLECTION OF METEORITES
Since the publication of the last catalogue of the meteorite collection*
the collection has been more than doubled both in number of falls and
in weight. The last catalogue listed 251 falls and a weight of 2,289
kilograms; the present catalogue records 657 falls and a weight of
7,566 kilograms. This great increase has come chiefly through the
acquisition of the Ward-Coonley collection, a collection which numbered
620 falls and had a weight of 2,495 kilograms. The Ward-Coonley
collection included that of James R. Gregory of London, numbering
406 falls, and that of Count Julien de Siemaschko of St. Petersburg,
numbering 402 falls. The specimens listed as belonging to these
collectors in Wulfing's cataloguef are now therefore chiefly to be found
in the Field Museum. Among important specimens included in the
Gregory collection were an individual of Youndegin weighing 141 kilos
(310 lbs.) and of Nejed weighing 48 kilos (105 lbs.); also about one-
third the original mass of Pipe Creek. The Siemaschko collection was
notable especially for its fine series of Russian and Siberian meteorites,
among which were a large individual of Indarch weighing 18 kilos, a
large mass weighing 2.2 kilos of Mighei, about one-third the original
mass of Pavlodar (Jamyschewa) and a large mass of Tabory (Ochansk).
The specimens obtained by Professor Ward personally included masses
of Ilimaes, Lampa, Arispe, Yanhuitlan, Santa Rosa, Ballinoo, Bar-
ratta and Roebourne. Individuals or large masses of the Bath Furnace,
Billings, Bluff, Canyon City, Castine, Estacado, Illinois Gulch, Luis
Lopez, McKinney, Ness County, Oakley, Petersburg, Saint Genevieve
and Surprise Springs meteorites also proved important features of
Professor Ward's collection, and the amount of Canyon Diablo contained
in his collection was the largest in the possession of any collector. In
addition to the material obtained from the Ward-Coonley collection
the Museum has acquired subsequent to the publication of the last
catalogue, representatives of about 50 falls. These included the total
masses of Ahumada (52 kilos), Blanket (3 kilos), Leighton (850 grams),
Pickens County (380 grams), Rodeo (44 kilos), South Bend (2 kilos)
and the large masses of Quinn Canyon and Davis Mountains weighing
1,450 and 690 kilos respectively.

The form and arrangement of this catalogue are similar to those of
previous catalogues of the collection, the arrangement being an alpha-
betical one for all falls, with a description, weight and number for each
specimen. The classification given to each fall has been in the main
that assigned by Brezina in the Ward-Coonley catalogue.* Where
obvious discrepancies occur, however, they have been noted by the
writer. In some cases where there was a lack of correspondence between
the specimen and Brezina's classification, sufficient material did not
seem to be at hand to warrant suggesting a change, while in other
cases it appeared that Brezina's determination might have been based
on insufficient material. A determination of the classification of each
meteorite ;n whatever collection possessed the largest quantity of the
fall would, in many cases, be desirable, although even with a large
amount of material individual judgments might differ. The writer
has followed Cohen f in grouping together the various falls of Great
Nama Land (Amalia, Great Fish River, Lion River, Mukerop and
Springbok River) under the single name of Bethany. This reduces
the number of falls from that region considerably from those usually
listed, but the great similarity of the etching figures of these meteorites
make it seem probable to the writer, as it has to other authorities, that
these masses had a single origin. BerwerthJ has been followed in
grouping the Japanese falls, Oshima, Hishikari, Maeme and Shigetomi,
under the single name of Kyushu. In the case of Coahuila the various
irons have been grouped according to the practice which has now
become common. Effort has been made to exclude all doubtful falls
and if in the practice of this principle some specimens which may later

prove genuinely meteoric have been excluded, the injury to the subject
is, in the opinion of the writer, less than if the opposite policy were
pursued.
Macquarie River and Queensland which were listed in Prof. Ward's
catalogue have been discontinued, Macquarie River because it has been
found by analysis to be non-meteoric and Queensland because of lack
of satisfactory data concerning it. The illustrations accompanying the
catalogue show some individual meteorites of the collection which have
not been previously figured.
