Fall data indicate that a significant, elongate cluster of co-orbital H chondrite falls in May between 1855 and 1895 (H Cluster 1) records encounter with two or three closely spaced and probably related meteoroid stream components, each of which was met near its perihelion. Although meteorites included in the Cluster vary widely in petrogrpahic type (3--6), shock facies (a--d), and 21Ne exposure age (<5 to 50 Ma), they have a distinct labile trace element signature that confirms a common thermal history and, thus, a common source region with an H chondrite parent body. Hence, meteorites selected by one criterion (fall parameters) as distinguishable from all other H chondrites, are distinguished from them by another completely different criterion (contents of labile trace elements). ¿ American Geophysical Union 1993
