LIST OF THE CASTS OF METEORITES.

Meteorites are generally represented in collections by mere fragments of the original specimens, which often fail to give any idea of the original size and shape. Before division of a specimen a cast of it is sometimes prepared, and a representation of the size and shape is thus preserved.

Casts of most of the following meteorites are exhibited in the lower parts of the cases:--

_Akburpur._ _Amana._ Assisi. _Barranca Blanca._ _Babb's Mill._ Barratta. Beuste. Bingera. _Bithur._ Boogaldi. Braunau. _Breitenbach._ Buschhof. _Bustee._ _Butsura._ Cabin Creek. Cachiyuyal. Caperr. Chandakapur. _Charlotte._ Chulafinnee. _Cronstad._ _Crumlin._ Daniel's Kuil. Dolgovoli. Donga Kohrod. Dundrum. _Durala._ Goalpara. Gopalpur. Ibbenbühren. _Jelica._ _Jhung._ _Kaee._ _Khiragurh._ Klein-Menow. Launton. Lick Creek. Linum. Mazapil. _Mhow._ _Middlesbrough._ Mooresfort. _Mouza Khoorna._ Nagy-Diwina. Nash County. _Nedagolla._ _Nejed._ _Nellore._ Nerft. Newstead. New Zealand. _Obernkirchen._ _Ogi._ _Parnallee._ Petersburg. Pillistfer. Pulsora. _Rancho de la Pila._ Rittersgrün. Roebourne. _Rowton._ St. Denis-Westrem. Sarepta. _Segowlie._ Shytal. Sindhri. _Sitathali._ Ski. _Udipi._ Virba. _Warbreccan._ _Wittekrantz._

The Trustees possess moulds of those meteorites in the preceding list of which the names are printed in italics, and casts may be obtained on payment of the necessary expenses. Applications should be made in writing to the formatori, D. Brucciani & Co., 254 Goswell Road, London, E.C.
