48. The remaining aerolites are not chondritic, and they contain little or no nickel-iron; of these we may specially mention for their mineral composition the following:—

Juvinas and Stannern, consisting essentially of anorthite and augite.

Petersburg, consisting of anorthite, augite and olivine, with a little chromite and nickel-iron: both Juvinas and Petersburg may be compared to terrestrial basalt.

Sherghotty, consisting chiefly of augite and maskelynite.

Angra dos Reis, consisting almost wholly of augite; olivine is present in small proportion.

Bustee, of diopside, enstatite and a little anorthic felspar, with some nickel-iron, oldhamite and osbornite.

Bishopville, of enstatite and anorthic felspar, with occasional augite, nickel-iron, troilite and chromite.

Roda, of olivine and bronzite.

Chassigny, consisting of olivine with enclosed chromite, and thus mineralogically similar to a terrestrial dunite.

Is there a periodic recurrence?
