Hi,
The reference for the Annales de Chimie article is:
E. F. F. Chladni, 'Nouveau catalogue des chutes de pierres ou de fer; de
poussières ou de substances molles, sèches 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:

Hi Svend,
Thanks for the comments. Yes, I am familiar with Chladni's 1825
catalogue, but I was not aware it was published in Kastner's Archiv. I
think the copy that I have was published in Annales de Chimie in the same
year. I have to go to my files and see if I can pull it out!
I do know from some of my other research that in 1825, most investigators,
even those that were chemists without any meteoritic experience, were
familiar with the work.
I'm not sure, but Annales de Chimie may be a bit easier to find in some
libraries, or on-line, than Kastner's Archiv (I may be wrong on this), so
if I can find the reference to the Annales de Chimie article, I will post
it to the list.
Thanks again for the comments and the Kastner reference. I wasn't aware
of the Lucas catalogue either!
Mark

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
