Thanks for bringing Lucas' catalog to our attention Mark. I wasn't aware of this interesting work until you mentioned it. As far as early ctalogs exclusively featuring meteorites are concerned, you may also find Ernst Florens Friedrich Chladni's meteorite catalog interesting. Chladni published the catalog of his personal collection in 1825 and thus it predates at least Cordier's 1837 work (though not Schreiber's appendix to Chladni's "Feuermeteore" as you pointed out correctly). The complete title of the work is "E.F.F. Chladni's Beschreibung seiner Sammlung vom Himmel herabgefallener Massen. Nebst einigen allgemeinen Bemerkungen. The descriptive 40 page catalog was printed in Kastner's Archiv fuer die gesamte Naturlehre", Vol. IV in Nuernberg in 1825 (p.200-p.240). Best regards Svend www.meteorite-recon.com
