Extract

The recovery of these two meteoric stones is due to the energy and resource of Mr. R. Bedford of the Kyancutta Museum, South Australia. They have been sent by him for description and placing on record, and he has very kindly allowed portions to be retained for the British Museum collection of meteorites. I also owe my thanks to him for the detailed information he has supplied respecting the finding of the specimens.

page 361 note 2 Accalana and Carraweena may possibly belong to the same fall, the localities being only five miles apart (see Min. Mag., 1935, vol. 24, p. 14, footnote). Along the same line and four miles farther north is Artracoona. This may perhaps be the locality of the ' Artracoona meteorite', also undescribed, which has been listed under Central Australia but not further localized.
