The article by O. E. Monnig, «The Bells, Texas, Meteorites, «Meteoritics», the Journal of the Meteoritical Society, v. 2, No. 1, May, 1963, contains the following additional information on the Bells carbonaceous chondrite, stony, meteorites, whose fall was reported in the Meteoritical Bulletin No. 25, December 1962:

The fall of the Bells meteorites was accompanied by a detonating bolide observed over the north-east part of Texas. Seven fragments with a total weight of about 280 gr were collected over distance of about 7.5 km. The first fragment hit the roof of a house and was picked up the following morning in a perfect state. The remaining specimens were found after a hurricane and rainfall in a more or less altered state. Two of these were substantially intact but the other four had shattered on impact or crumbled through weathering. The fragments, an even powder, were admirably picked up by Alnico magnet.
