Abstract
The present note arises out of a paper by O. B. Bøggild, to which my attention was drawn recently, concerning the peculiar segregation of kamacite which gives rise to the Widmannstätten figures produced by etching plane sections of the octahedrite meteoric irons.As the figures which occur in these meteorites are met with on a much smaller scale in many alloys, the structure to which they owe their origin must be of special interest to those engaged in the study of metals.Keywords
