Chladni, 'Nouveau catalogue des chutes de pierres ou de fer; de poussi?res ou de substances molles, s?ches ou humides, suivant l'ordre chronologique', Annales de Chimie et de Physique 31, 253-270 (1826). I have posted some additional comments at the Meteorite Mauscripts blog, including where to download the Annales and Kastner catalogues, which can be viewed at: http://meteoritemanuscripts.blogspot.com You can also be notified of new posts on twitter at: http://twitter.com/MetManuscripts Thanks.
