On the Meteorites which have been found in the Desert of Atacama and its neighbourhood

Abstract

The immediate object of the present paper is to place on record the history and characters of several Atacama meteorites of which no description has yet been published; but incidentally it is convenient at the same time to consider the relationship of these masses to others from the same region, which either have been already described, or at least are stated to be preserved in one or more of the known Meteorite-Collections.
