gl
accurate group, will result in an unique and imperishable ex-
hibit; impossible of duplication and of such compelling and
incisive interest both scientific
and popular, that it must
per force head every catalogue of famous aerolites, and must
be included in every reference to the chief treasures of great
museums. Such group will be as interesting and instructive as
Cleopatra's Needle; and more valuable because impossible of
duplication.
Additional points of interest are, the extremely high
latitude in which these aerolites were found: the peculiar phy-
sical conditions existing in the locality of their discovery,
the bearing of these conditions upon the de tails of their ar-
rival upon the earth; their wealth of suggestion of questions
and speculations of the most attractive nature to the scientist,
the virgin field they present as regards minute scientific
study no exhaustive analyses etc.etc. yet having been made;
and the fact that for seventy-six years they have baffled all
efforts to locate their hiding place and have finally succumbed
1
to American persistence.
This comb ination of charms renders these Cape York
aerolites or "saviksue" peerless and unique among a ll the
siderites of the world.
