Hi Serguei,

The following entry appears in the 4th edition of the Catalogue:

Atlantic Ocean
  Fell 1809, June 19, 2300 hrs
  Doubtful.
Many stones fell into the sea, and one of 170g on the deck of a ship,
south of Rhode Island, U.S.A., but this was lost and the description is
inadequate, E.F.F. Chladni, Die Feuer-Metere, Wien, 1819, p 290, F.
Berwerth, Fortschr. Min. Krist. Petr., 1912, 2, p.230.

This entry has been dropped from the 5th edition.
Best wishes,
Charlie
