Statistical Studies of the Meteorltic Falls of the World: 5. The Observed Sideritic and Siderolitic Falls 1

This paper consists essentially of 3 tables: Table 1, 38 sideritic and siderolitic falls, of which the observation appears to be authentic; Table 2, 18 such falls, whose observation is doubtful or improbable; and Table 3, 7 such falls, so recently reported to have been witnessed as to call for further information, either to confirm or to disprove their reputed observation. The falls, especially those of Table 1, are briefly discussed, and the article ends with a recital of the criteria that may be used to determine whether or not a meteorite—iron or stone—was seen to fall.
