THE METEORITE COLLECTION IN THE U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM; A
CATALOGUE OF METEORITES REPRESENTED NOVEMBER 1, 1886,
By F. W. Clarke.
The following catalogue has been prepared mainly to facilitate ex-
changes and to aid in the upbuilding of the collection. In addition to
the usual information as to title, date of fall, and weight of specimen, it
has beeu thought well to give the source from which each example was
obtained ; and it may be interesting to note that the meteorites ac-
credited to Dr. J. Berrien. Lindsley were mainly received by him from
the late Dr. J. Lawrence Smith. In the catalogue of the Shepard col-
lection, now on deposit in the Museum, the arrangement of Professor
Shepard himself has been followed without change. Including the
Shepard meteorites, over 200 falls are now on exhibition, giving the
entire collection a very respectable place among the larger collections
of the world. The Tucson iron is unique, and therefore a cut of it is
inserted.
