In a region approximately 60° west of north and about one mile distant from the rim of the Barringer Meteorite Crater of Arizona (CN = + 1110,350), it has been determined, from the results of a systematic survey, that, in an area of 4 square meters, in which there was at least one meteorite, there was, on the average, 1.33 times as much meteorite by weight as oxidite.
