THE RUSSEL GULCH METEORITE. THROUGH the generosity of Professor C. F. Chan- dler of Columbia University the Museum has re- ceived as a gift more than one-third of the original and unique mass of the Russel Gulch meteorite, together with a cast of the whole. The weight of this portion of the meteorite is eleven pounds and three ounces. The specimen shows an etched face covering an entire section through the mass, giving coarse and somewhat wavy outlines of kamacite rods, in marked contrast with the fine structure in the example of the same meteorite in the Ward-Coonley collection of meteorites. This meteorite was found in Russel Gulch, Gilpin County, Colorado, in 1863 and was first described by Professor J. Lawrence Smith in the American Journal of Science in 1866. The original mass weighed 29 pounds. THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF MUSEUMS.
