[meteorite-list] Re-2: Meteorite on August 10th, 1862, in Jamaica?

[chris aubeck]

No, August Nathaniel Bohner (1809 - 1892), scientist and theologist.
The book I'm using has chapters on volcanoes, meteorites and the
seasons of Mars.

I'd tell you more about his weird meteorite tale but you'd just think
it's silly!

Regards,

Chris
