Abstract The circumstances of the discovery and recovery, on 1955 August 9, of what appears to be the fifth and, to date, the smallest‐known member of the famous Cape York, West Greenland, sideritic fall — a mass weighing 106 pounds — are detailed, together with a brief description of the specimen, in a letter received from Mr. William G. Melbourne, a U.C.L.A. alumnus and a member of the party that recovered the meteorite.
