Two Meteorites from France have recently come into my possession from a private source, one of which, though not of a recent fall (1836), has neither been described nor chemically examined, and which I now briefly bring to notice, it being of a most rare type. The other is of a much more recent fall (1875), and is of a much more ordinary character, being similar to many other meteorites of the same class; this stone also appears not to have been described, nor has any notice of it been published. It is somewhat a remarkable coincidence that these two stones should have fallen in the same Department, although at such widely different dates, and from the data and notes I have received from careful inquiries, I now bring forward the following details of these two aerolites.
