Dear list,

First thanks many of you who sent me the masses of Ensisheim meteorite 
fragments you owe in your collections, for the compilation we are trying to 
achieve since a time.
Even the smallest masses do contribute to a total that is slowly 
increasing, although this preliminary compliation is far from being 
complete. But we will be updating this first list on a regular basis.
I wish to thank more particularly Jörn Koblitz for his valuable help in 
providing the most recent data from his last MetBase version, that remains 
a fantastic source of information.

Please find the list below, hoping it will be more easy to decipher than my 
preceding compilations.
You can note that there is now only one weight per institute or collector, 
although I had received often more than one (up to 5) often different 
numbers for each meteorite home.

I have selected the most likely weight based on the most recent data I 
received or had on hand. Variable numbers basically concerned institutes or 
museums, from which only old data were available from very different 
sources. These still badly need an update but it is really not easy to 
contact these people.

May I encourage you to continue to send me new data, additions and 
especially corrections, mostly (I believe) related to your own collections.
More specifically, if you have selective remarks or corrections regarding 
your own data as listed here (not only weights but sometimes addresses), 
I'll be glad to collect them as promptly as you can, just because we wish 
to print that list very very soon, as it is, onto the program sheet of the 
next Ensisehim show that will be distributed to all the attendees next June.

If your remarks can be collected within the forthcoming hours (say, within 
the next two days at the latest), we could include them and modify the 
compilation list accordingly.

Warm thanks to all of you in advance.

Best wishes,

Zelimir
