Abstract
The Boxhole meteorite crater has been described previously. It is in Central Australia at latitude 22° 37′ 30´″ S., longitude 135° 11′ 59″ E. During the single afternoon that was spent examining this great crater, nearly 200 yards across, most of the time was occupied with taking measurements and photographs, and only a few shale-balls were found in the way of meteoritic material. Mr. Joe Webb, who lives nearby, was instructed to continue the search, and in due course he sent down to Adelaide three pieces of iron weighing respectively 17 lb. 9 oz., 1 lb. 8 oz., and 5 oz., shown in figs. 1 and 3, together with six more shale-balls. This material was purchased by the South Australian Museum. Two other small pieces of iron have been obtained by the author from other sources.
