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

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

It is not a little curious that twice in five years the British Islands have been visited with meteoric falls; in each case a single specimen has been found and, the one a small block of iron, the other a small block of rock, they constitute the prettiest little cabinet specimens of the two chief typical classes of meteorites. The former fell at Rowton, in April, 1876; the other near Middlesborough, in Yorkshire, on March 14th, 1881, and will be described later on.
