Hi Kevin and List,

The Catalogue of Meteorites, British Mus. (Nat. Hist.), lists under
"Imilac", several masses that went to a few Museums, and I quote: from it:
"...a 3.8 kg Harvard Univ., of Ollague;" - again, under "Specimens", it
lists "...[1927,88] 240g slice, and fragments, 3g of Ollague", as in the
collection of the British Museum.
  It seems that these pieces might have come from the 6.66 kg mass, then
known as Ollague, as you mention in your email?
