Abstract
THERE are no modern analyses in the literature of the nickel and cobalt contents of the rare metallic phase in those achondritic meteorites which have gross chemical compositions similar to terrestrial basic igneous rocks. I have called these achondrites the basic achondrites and both the eucrites and the howardites are included in this group.
