On January 12, 1928, I received a letter from Mr. Seiichi Yanagimachi, ... The inclosed specimen of meteorite fell on Mr. Tahei Kuriyarna's property in our village at about 9 A.M., April 29, 1927. At the time his second daughter was 5 [3½] years old was playing in the garden, when, to her mothers astonishment, she suddenly cried out. Her mother found that she had suffered head injuries in two places and that a small piece of stone had come to rest on her neck-band. The meteorite is reported to have been hot at first.
