The material of this paper is contained in two tables. In Table 1, the numbers and percentages of the single and multiple meteoritic falls of the world, both observed and unobserved, are listed under meteorites generally, and specifically under the 3 divisions, 7 classes, and 30 subclasses of the Simplified Classification. In Table 2, the same kind of information is given for multiple falls, both observed and unobserved, consisting of: (1) 2 to 10 members; (2) more than 10 to 10 2 members; (3) more than 10 2 to 10 3 members; (4) more than 10 3 to 10 4 members; and (5) more than 10 4 to 10 6 members.
