Dear list,

I have spent some weeks trying to locate information about a supposed
meteorite fall at 11:30pm on August 10th 1862 in Kingston, Jamaica.
The Kingston libraries and university have not replied to any of my
e-mails.

All I have is note dated 1874 saying details can be found in an
article written by one Dr. Hopkins in "The Proceedings of the Kingston
Association XII, 1862". No search has produced information about this
journal to date (Library of Congress and online Kingston University
catalogues included).

Does anyone know how I can verify this, if the national library and
university do not answer my mails? I have access to no meteorite
catalogues.

Thanks in advance,

Chris
