Abstract
In 1910 in volume 15 of this Magazine I was able to place on record some details respecting the 'Cullinan' diamond from South Africa, the largest crystal of diamond yet found. I have now been able to collect some information about the largest known meteorite. The facts concerning remarkable obiects such as these are apt to become exaggerated and distorted, and it is well to place on record the true and accurate data while they can still be ascertained.Keywords
