15. Kadonah. ' Large' stone (veined grey chondrite), weight not recorded, fell 7.8. 1822, in the night, 'at Kadonah in the Agra district'. The Collector of Agra (letter dated 18.6.32) writes,
' There is no village named Kadonah in the Agra district. Karondhna is, however, a village in tahsil Fatehabad, district Agra, about 2 miles west of Tharai flag station on the Agra-Bah branch of the Great Indian Peninsular Railway.' This would place the fall at about 27° 5' N., 78° 20' E.
