Abstract
THE metallographic structure of the main mass of the Goose Lake meteorite has been described by Henderson and Perry1. The meteorite was discovered in the autumn of 1938 and was removed from the site in May 1939. The site was re-examined in 1960, when a large number of small, partly corroded, fragments were discovered in and around the place from which the main mass had been removed. The circumstances under which the fragments were found, together with a preliminary description of their structure and some suggestions about their origin, can be found in ref. 2.
