Daubree has analysed a meteorite, which fell in the province of Eut= re-Rios, in the Argentina Republic, and finds that it contains iron, lime= , magnesia and carbon in an organic form. The last discovery leads him to= hope that he may some day find organic remains in a meteorite. It may be= recollected that Sir William Thompson, in 1871, suggested that idea that= even living organic germs may have been brought to the earth by meteorit= es, and that the present animal an vegetable life of our planet had its o= rigin in the germs thus introduced. This speculation gives a special inte= rest in any remains or other evidence tending to show that meteorites, or= the worlds of which they may have once formed a part ever bore living fo= rms.
