Dear Dr. Lindstrom:

Attached is the table giving the results of the chemical composition of the Ucera meteorite which you requested in your letter. Also, I am enclosing a copy of the report by the Smithsonian Institution's Center for Short-Lived Phenomena with information about the fall and recovery of this meteorite. Mr. R. Clarke informs me that Dr. Eduardo Vaz, Laboratory of Nuclear Geology Caracas, Venezuela, published a short paper on the fall and recovery of the Ucera meteorite. Unfortunately, we do not have a copy of this paper yet.

We, at the Smithsonian, are contemplating a general description of this meteorite with the chemical and microprobe data.

Sincerely yours,

Eugene Jarosewich
Chemist
