ABSTRACT The elements of the orbits of the bodies that dropped stony meteorites (aerolites) at Tilden, Illinois, in 1927; at Paragould, Arkansas, in 1930; and at Archie, Missouri, in 1932, are presented and briefly discussed. All 3 orbits were direct, with moderate eccentricities and inclinations, not unlike those of some of the asteroids.
