page 96 note 1 Prof. Ramsay thought the Greenland (Meteoric) Iron might be of terrestrial origin; but he did not (like Col. Greenwood) deny the existence of real meteoric stones. If the Colonel will visit the British Museum any day, he may see a very large series of iron and stone meteorites, the circumstances attending the fall of many of which are well authenticated. As spectrum-analysis has revealed to us that many of the heavenly bodies are composed of like elements with our own planet, it need not surprise us to find that fragments of such bodies, falling on our earth, should be composed of the same materials.—Edit.
