H Is regrettable tlist the owners of such terrestrial specimens do not hare them exam ined by an authority on such mat ters before presenting them to the public as real meteorites.

The metallic type Is almost entirely nickel and Iron, and appears silvery when the thin crust Is removed with a tile. The stony type usually has nickel-iron grains of silvery hue embedded In the stony material. It seems quite likely that the Oc tober 1 fireball, which fell almost straight down, reached the earth before being entirely consumed. If It was of the metallic type, it prob ably landed In one piece; if stony, It may have sprinkled a consider able area with "celestial shrapnel It is hoped that everyone in the general region of fall will be on a lookout (or unusual roc is. and i( found, will send specimens to me at once at Eugene.
