AbstractAccounts of the fall, recovery, and identification of two stony meteorites that struck buildings in Japan are presented in this paper. The first such occurrence took place on the afternoon of March 31, 1938, in Gifu‐ken, where the Kasamatsu meteorite penetrated the roof of a shop. On the evening of November 20, 1949, the Kochi meteorite fell, penetrating the windowpane of a house in Kochi city. The results of detailed chemical and petrographical studies of the 710‐gm. Kasamatsu spherulitic chondrite will be published in the near future. The Kochi meteorite, which weighs less than 1.6 gm., is as yet undescribed because it has been impossible to obtain a sample of the small stone for analysis. This fact is the more regrettable since it is felt that a detailed study of the Kochi stone is desirable before this specimen is accepted without qualification as a meteor
