After detonations, two stones, one of about 134lb and the other of 37lb, were seen to fall, J.L.Cassels, Am. J. Sci., 1861, 32, p.401. Parnallee is said to be 16 miles S of Madura, but no village with this or a similar name can be traced in the district. The place of fall is probably Perunali, Ramnad district, 9°14'N, 78°21'E, 52 miles SSE of Madura, C.A.Silberrad, Min. Mag., 1932, 23, p.296, M.H.Hey, Cat. Met., 1966, p.370.
