In the 5 years since the first workshop on meteorites from cold and hot deserts, there has been a big rise in the number of meteorites returned from desert localities. The number of meteorites found in the Sahara has grown three-fold, several new Antarctic localities have yielded plentiful harvests (e.g. Grosvenor Mountains, Queen Alexandra Range), and return visits to well-documented Antarctic sites have also resulted in many additional meteorites (e.g. Elephant Moraine). Although classification of new meteorites is regularly reported in the Meteoritical Bulletin, the total number of different types from all localities has not been published for many years. The present Symposium provides an opportunity to draw together statistical data for meteorites from cold and hot deserts, for comparison with data for modem falls; data are taken from the (almost published) 5th Edition of the Catalogue of Meteorites. All numbers are correct as of 1st May 1999.
