Extract

From an examination of thin sections of specimens in the British Museum (Natural History) labelled Cobija and Lampa and also from a consideration of the present distribution of these meteorites in the British Museum and in the Ward-Coonley collection in the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, Dr. G. T. Prior thought that there was strong evidence in favour of their identity. In his 'Catalogue of Meteorites' (1923, p. 95) ho states with reference to the Lampa stone: 'Except that it is more oxidized, in characters it is very similar to Cobija, and may be identical with it since the information as to locality was obtained not from H. A. Ward but indirectly from the School of Mines, Santiago.' Dr. Prior subsequently handed me these meteorites for a chemical examination.
