IV.—Supplement to a Chapter in the History of Meteorites

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

Dr. Divers has drawn attention to two Japanese meteorites, the property of a gentleman, Mr. Naotora Nabeshima, formerly Daimiyo of Ogi or Koshiro, in the province of Hizen, Japan. They are heirlooms in his farnity, and used to be in the care of the priests of one of the family temples in Ogi, called Fukuchi-inGomado. After the revolution the temple was closed. in the family archives there is a record of these stones having been entrusted some years after their fall to a priest named Jishobo, which is dated December 10th, 1744, and his receipt for them is also preserved; they must therefore have fallen about 150 years ago.
