The numerous individual masses of meteoric iron show a considerable variety of surface forms and markings which are certainly puzzling. Some of them he admits are due to subærial erosion and some to subterranean weathering. But others he believes are the original surfaces; that is, those resulting from the friction and burning of the meteorites during their brief flight through the earth's atmosphere.
