Abstract
As reference was made in NATURE of March 31 (p. 149) to records of Italian aerolites, it may be noted that there were fourteen falls of stones or earth in central Italy recorded in forty years from 208–168 B.C. It appears that the earth was then passing through a region of aerolites. The references in Livy are under the years A.U.C. 545. 548, 550, 558, 559, 561, 564, 567, 575, 579, 580, 583, 584, and 585.
