Abstract
ON May 28 last a farmer of Barntrup, a small town of the Principality of Lippe, in the north-west of Germany, walking in the afternoon, 2h. 30m., on the edge of a neighbouring wood, suddenly heard repeated reports like those of a gun, followed shortly after by an indistinct rumbling as of thunder. At the same time a meteorite came crashing through the leaves of a tree. The rumbling came from a south westerly direction, the temperature was warm, the sky bright, and almost entirely cloudless.
