| Abstract/Notes | A meteoric iron, weighing 407 tolas (about 10 lbs.), fell at Nidigullam, and penetrated the ground to the depth of twenty inches. Those who saw the meteor describe it as very large and beautiful, and as exhibiting increased brilliance when it burst. The explosion was followed by a series of rumbling noises. The meteorite passed over Parvatypore from N. to S.; the people of the village were greatly alarmed, and one man, near whom it fell, was stunned. The villagers “carried it off to their temple, and, much alarmed, were found making púja to it.” The author of the notice in the Proceedings considers that this aerolite contains no stony matter, and he states that it is marked with striæ lying obliquely to its greatest length, which is 6½ inches. The lamented Dr. Stoliczka, however, was of opinion, from the description of the striation, that it is a stone containing much iron, “like the Mooltan aerolite which fell some short time ago.” | ||
