time. At present, the hope of seeing changes in the
fluxes of meteorites to the Antarctic ice sheet goes
unfulfilled, but with meteorite pairing relations better
understood and more terrestrial ages known, progress
on that front can be expected. For the practicing
meteoriticist looking for a sample of, say, Semarkona,
neither the
Antarctic Meteorite Newsletter
nor the
NIPR Meteorite Newsletter
may ever supplant the
Catalogue of the Natural History Museum, London
, or
its electronic successors. But those newsletters describe
finds with a pedigree, abundance, and availability unri-
valed elsewhere.
