ON reading the account of the fall of the Crumlin meteorite given by several correspondents in your issue of October 9, 1902, I was struck with the parallelism between this occurrence and the fall of the Mount Browne stone in this State on July 17 of this year. Mount Browne is situated near the township of Milparinka, in the extreme north-west corner of New South Wales. About 9.30 a.m. on that date, a loud explosion was heard. In the direction of the sound, a hut is said to have caught fire, this being immediately followed by a whizzing sound and the raising of .a cloud of dust at some distance. The stone was picked up within five minutes, while still warm. It may now be seen at the Mining and Geological, Museum, Sydney. Its present weight is about 25 lb., but a, small piece has been broken off one end. The fractured surface is exceptionally light in colour, the stone being largely non-metallic.
