R the name San Francisco del Mezquital. According to Burk- art* and Fletcher, 7 the place, which lies 10 leagues soi. Ji of Durango in the district of Mezquital, is now called simply Mezquital, and the longer name, given by the missionaries, is found only upon old maps. It seems to me more appro- priate, therefore, to designate the place of discovery by the now generally current name of Mezquital. According to Daubree, 1 the mass brought from Mexico by General Castelnau and weighing 7 kg. , had... a very char- acteristic flat form; being only 7 cm. In thickness. Of the three principal surfaces the smallest was almost even, the other two had a more or less irregular surface. Upon one surface was found an almost round saucer-like depression 2 cm. Deep and 8 to 9 cm. In diameter; a part of the surface appeared to be shagreened, an effect traceable to atmos- pheric influence. Daubree was inclined to conclude, from the form of the mass, that the nickel-iron had taken shape after the manner of a vein inside a stony mass, a view which was first expressed by Haidinger respecting Netschaevo.
