Extract

It is probable that the history of this fall has unfortunately been lost to science. Vom Rath has recently endeavoured, but without avail, to gather information from Gemrnellaro, of Palermo, respecting what now appears to have been a shower of stones rather than the fall of a single meteorite, as hitherto supposed. Gemmellaro was unable in 1869 to discover any persons who witnessed the fall; as, however, it appears that two years after the occurrence Greg was informed that an account had been printed in a Sicilian scientific journal, more particulars of the fall may yet be obtained.
