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. *Pubs.

Meteorite Collection — Catalogue 233 Holbrook 197 individuals Mocs 38 individuals Ness County 27 individuals Pultusk 173 individuals Toluca 34 individuals Also of the following falls one or more complete, or nearly complete, individuals are included in the collection: Admire, Agen, Ahumada, Arispe, Barratta (2), Bath Furnace, Bielokrynitschie, Bischtube, Bishop Canyon, Blanket (2), Blansko, Bluff, Cangas de Onis, Crab Orchard, Davis Mountains, Dokachi, Dona Inez (5), Gilgoin, Glorieta Mountain (2), Hessle (3), Homestead (2), Indarch, Kyushu, Leighton, Limerick, Llano del Inca (2), Los Reyes, Modoc (3), Nagy-Borove, Nejed, Pickens County, Plainview, Quinn Canyon, Scott City (2), South Bend, Stannern and Vaca Muerta. 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 *Catalogue of the Ward-Coonley Collection, Chicago, 1904, pp. 97-103. tMeteoritenkunde, Heft 3, p. 324. tFortschritte der Min.

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. CATALOGUE OF THE COLLECTION. No. Date of Fall or Find.
