INTRODUCTION
A short history of the development of the British Museum Collec- tion of Meteorites, and an account of the characters and of the phenomena attending the fall of these bodies, are given in the separately-published " Introduction to the Study of Meteorites " prepared by the late Sir Lazarus Fletcher.
The present Catalogue, so far as it relates to specimens in the British Museum Collection, is intended to replace the list of meteorites which hitherto has been appended to that " Introduction."
In this Catalogue the data supplied for each meteorite include : the name by which it is most generally known; the locality; the date of fall or find ; the chief synonyms ; the classificatory descrip- tive name ; details and original weight * of the fall or find ; refer- ences to the literature; the present repository (besides the British Museum) of the main masses ; f and a list of the specimens % (with their weights in grams) representing the fall in the British Museum Collection. The references to the literature are given : for details of the fall or find ; for good descriptions ; and for reliable chemical analyses, the results of which are indicated by stating approximately, (1) the percentage (/) of nickeliferous iron; (2) the ratio (n) of the percentage of iron to that of nickel in the nickeliferous iron ; and (3) the ratio (m) of the molecules of MgO to those of FeO in the magnesian silicates. No attempt is made to give a complete bibliography of each fall as in Wiilfing's well-known work,f but the references cited have been chosen so as to supply the main and essential facts, so far as at present known, for each meteorite. References, therefore, are not generally given to old chemical analyses which are only of historic interest, nor to the earlier descriptions
* Generally in grams, but in pounds avoirdupois when the weight is so given in the original account in English of the fall.
f Drawn chiefly from data given in E. A. Wiilfing's Catalogue, Die Meteoriten in Sammlungen, Tiibingen, 1897; in the more recent (but for European Collections mostly pre-war) Catalogues of the Collections in the Museums of Calcutta, Chicago, Paris, Prague, Vienna, Washington, etc. ; and in O. C. Farrington's Catalogue of Meteorites of North America (Mem. Xat. Acad. Sci. Washington, 1915, vol. 13).
j Arranged in order of decreasing weights. Mention is made of complete or nearly complete stones and slices of irons, but no detailed descriptions are given of pieces. Such descriptions occur in some catalogues, but appear to be of little utility, as they consist for the most part of a repetition of the char- acters already indicated by the classificatory descriptive name.
vi INTRODUCTION
(such as those of A. Brezina *) of the microscopic characters which served to determine the position of a meteorite in the Tschermak- Brezina classification and are now fairly well indicated by the name given to it in that system.
In the catalogue the name adopted to designate a meteoric fall has been chosen as the one most generally accepted and of long- standing^ and, in cases of doubt, as the one used in the catalogues of the most important collections in the country in which the meteorite fell. Thus for North American meteorites the names adopted are for the most part those used in the catalogues of G. P. Merrill and 0. C. Farrington of the collections of the United States National Museum in Washington, and the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago respectively.
The system of classification adopted in the Catalogue is that of Tschermak and Brezina as modified by the writer. J
According to this system, the three main divisions, based on the relative amounts of nickeliferous iron and stony matter, are : —
I. Meteoric Irons or Siderites, consisting mainly of nickeliferous
iron. II. Meteoric Stony-irons or Siderolites, in which iron and stony
matter are both in large amounts. III. Meteoric Stones or Aerolites, consisting mainly of stony matter, with nickeliferous iron and troilite, when present, scattered through it as small grains; this last division being sub- divided into : —
(a) Chondritic Meteoric Stones or Chondrites, containing
chondrules. (P) Non-chondritic Meteoric Stones or Achondrites, in
which chondrules are absent.
Division I (Irons) is divided according to structure, and generally in order of increasing percentages of nickel, into the following groups : —
(a) Nickel-poor Ataxites, with nickel mostly less than 6 per cent.
(b) Hexahedrites, in which nickel is about 7 per cent.
(c) Octahedrites, which, according to the width of the kamacite
bands and generally to increasing percentages of nickel (from about 7 to 14), are divided into : — Coarsest, coarse, medium, fine, and finest octahedrites.
* Catalogues of the collection of meteorites in the Natural History Museum, Vienna (Jahrb. geol. Reichsanst. Wien, 1885, vol. 35 pp. 151-2*76; Ann. Naturhist. Hofmus. Wien, 1895, vol. 10, pp. 231-370).
f For this reason such names as Cronstad, Jhung, and Monroe are retained, although Kroonstad, Jhang, and Flows may be more correct from the point of view of spelling or locality, and cross-references are given to them. For the same reason, for Russian meteorites the original transliteration of the names has been generally kept, except that the German ' w ' has been changed to ' v ' : in some cases a cross-reference is given to an alternative transliteration.

INTRODUCTION vii
(d) Ataxites. with medium percentages of nickel (about 7 to 14),
probably mostly altered Octahedrites (Metabolites).
(e) Nickel-rich Ataxites, with nickel generally greater than
14 per cent.
4
Division II (Stony-irons) is divided into : —
(a) Olivine Stony-irons, or PoUasites.
(b) Bronzite-asmanite Stony-irons, or Sideropkyres.
(c) Bronzite-olivine Stony-irons, or Lodranites.
(d) Hypersthene-anorthite Stony-irons, or Mesosiderites.
Division Ilia (Chondrites) is divided, according to increasing percentages of nickel in the nickeliferous iron and corresponding increase of ferrous oxide in the magnesian silicates, into : —
(a) Enstatite-chondrites.
(b) Bronzite-cJwndrites.
(c) Hypersthene-chondrites.
To the members of each of these groups are applied the qualifications according to colour (white, intermediate, grey, black) ; structure (crystalline, spherical, brecciated, veined) ; and composition (carbonaceous), etc., used in the Tschermak-Brezina classification.
Division 111(3 (Achondrites) is divided, according to the content of lime, into : —
(a) Calcium-poor Achondrites which are sub-divided into
(1) Enstatite-achondrites or Aubrites, corresponding to En-
statite-chondrites.
(2) Clinobronzite-olivine-achondrites or Ureilites, corresponding
to Bronzite-chondrites.
(3) Hypersthene-olivine-achondrites>
or Amphote rites (and Rodites)
(4) Hypersthene-achondrites
or Diogenites Hypersthene-chondrites.
(5) Olivine-achondrites
or Chassignites
(b) Calcium-rich Achondrites, which are subdivided into
(1) Augite-achondrites or Angrites.
(2) Diopside-olivine-achondrites or Nakhlites.
(3) Clinohypersthene-anorthite-achondrites or Eucrites ; includ-
ing Sherghottites in which anorthite is replaced by maskelynite.
(4) Hypersthene - clinohypersthene - anorthite - achondrites or S Howardites.
The scheme of the above classification is embodied in the following table : —

INTRODUCTION ix
In the Catalogue the attempt is made to include the names of all * meteorites known up to the end of the year 1922, and the falls which are not yet represented by specimens in the British Museum Collection are marked by an asterisk (*) in order to call attention to them as desiderata.
* A few names of doubtful meteorites of vague locality, or of which the history has been lost, such as Manzanares, Thunder Bay, etc., which are mentioned in Wulfing's book or in old catalogues, are omitted, since their perpetuation appears to serve no useful purpose.

Peary, by whom later they were transported to New York (R. E. Peary, Northward over the Great Ice, London, 1898, vol. 2, pp. 145, 553, 600). Analysed by J. E. Whitfield (E. O. Hovey, Amer. Mus. Nat.
