Nininger a= nd Abbie D. Nininger to use in research on meteorites, provided the same = is used on projects and in a manner that merits the endorsement of the Un= iversity of Arizona. Nininger propose to investigate the following: 1) The Xiquipilco region of Mexico where meteorite crater or craters poss= ibly exist in association with a rich meteorite field that has been known= since 1776. Preliminary flight over area has revealed what may be badly = eroded craters. 2. The Aripse, Sonora, area where numerous irons have been found during t= he past 58 years. 3. Muzquis, Coahuila, where 15 large irons were reported about 1837. In 1= 867, eight irons were removed; but no later record of remainder is found = in literature. No field description was ever made of the deposit. 4. The reported existence of large irons in the mountains of southern Ari= zona. 5. Four approximately located falls during the past seven years in the Na= vajo and Hopi Reservations. Needless to say, not all of these can be investigated for the above-menti= oned sum. ------=_NextPart_001_0003_01C41FBE.1674B0D0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <HTML><BODY STYLE=3D"font:10pt verdana; border:none;"><DIV><FONT size=3D2= ><FONT size=3D2> <P>By Nininger 1-17-52 (wrote by hand on top of page, ap= pears to be in Perry's handwriting, rest of page is typed).</P> <P> = </P> <P>Stuart H.
