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:—
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.
TO THE METEORITES REPRESENTED IN THE COLLECTION ON MAY 1, 1908.
The names adopted for the meteorites are printed in thick type: the other names are synonyms.
The numbers correspond with those of the first column of the meteorite list.
