-3-
shores of Melville Bay are siderites (metallic meteorites).
One of them is by far the largest known meteorite in the world.
All three, but particularly the two smaller ones, possess a
historical and human interest such as attaches to no others.
They were never seen by, or their location known to any white
man before my discovery of them in May, 1894.
