The Carl Bosch mineral collection (which included much more than just
meteorites) was displayed at Yale University in the United States for many
years. The Smithsonian purchased the collection in the 1960s from the
heirs of Mr. Bosch. Arthur Roe wrote a description of the collection which
appeared in the May/June issue of the _Mineralogical Record_ (vol. 9, no.
3, pp. 181-195).
