摘要:
ABSTRACTBy means of Poisson probabilities, the number of coincidental meteoritic falls in the United States is shown to be unreasonably large when the probabilities are based upon the density of total falls. Either some of the coincidental falls are not distinct falls or such factors as increased searching in the vicinity of known falls may account for the excess.
