AW: [meteorite-list] BIOT

[Jörn Koblitz]

Biot's report is not an off-print of an article published before, but it was reprinted five years later in "Encyclopedie methodique chim. et metal." (1808, Vol. 5, pp. 568-580). Biot also published his results more briefly in "Bibliotheque Britannique" (1803), "Philisophical Magazine" (1803) and "Annalen der Physik und Chemie" (1804).

If someone needs more detailed information on these publications, just send me an email.

Jörn

> Document "Imprimé par ordre de l'Institut, Paris, Baudouin,

> pp 3-43,
> including a map entitled "carte des lieux sur lesquels a 
> éclaté le météore 
> du 6 floréal an XI aux environs de l'Aigle, Département de l'Orne"
> (the same map that is very often reprinted in many modern treatises).

> The text (beginning on p 5) is in old French and it is Biot who is
