[meteorite-list] Fw: Who prepared the first published meteoritecatalogue?

[Mark Grossman]

Hi,

The reference for the Annales de Chimie article is:

E. F. F. Chladni, 'Nouveau catalogue des chutes de pierres ou de fer; de 
poussières ou de substances molles, sèches ou humides, suivant l'ordre 
chronologique', Annales de Chimie et de Physique 31, 253-270 (1826).

I have posted some additional comments at the Meteorite Mauscripts blog, 
including where to download the Annales and Kastner catalogues, which can be 
viewed at:

Thanks.
