The bursting of the Quenggouk meteorite. Dec. 27, L857, was observed by Lieut. Aylesbury and others, and the former has left a sketch showing its appearance at the moment of explosion. Haidinger,* after careful, study of all the observations, states that "there can remain no doubt that the meteorite, entering our atmosphere as a complete stone, was broken into a number of pieces at a great height.
