Size distribution in the Barwell, Bruderheim, Gibeon, Johnstown, Sikhote‐Alin and Tenham showers is studied. On the assumption that the distribution follows the Gates‐Gaudin‐Schumann law, which describes artificially crushed material, it is estimated that 80% of the fine material of the Gibeon shower was not collected; for the other showers the figure varies between 52 and 61%.The spacial distribution pattern of the Barwell, Johnstown, Krymka, Kunashak, Leedey, Plainview (1917), and Sikhote‐Alin meteoritic showers is studied. It is established that the patterns show considerable regularity and that the distribution pattern of fragments of any one size is a function of the sorting factor, which is the distance in kilometers between groups of fragments whose mass differs by an order of ma
