Title: The Witsand meteorite, South-West Africa 
Authors: S. James Shand 

The stone, which belongs to the class of "friable white chondrites," fell December 1, 1932, on the farm Witsand, district of Warmbad, in the extreme south of South-West Africa. Its mineralogical composition was deduced from microscopical study combined with partial chemical analysis.
