The Beaver Creek Meteorite

Abstract

SOME of the readers of NATURE will no doubt be interested in a short account of a meteoric fall which occurred recently in British Columbia, and was noted in these columns on August 10. For the circumstances in connection with the fall, and the finding of fragments of the meteorite, I am indebted to Mr. James Hislop —a former student of this University, and a most trustworthy observer—and also to a letter by Mr. E. L. McNair in the Spokane Review of June 2.
