The carbonatites are essentially carbonate-silicate rock with a great variety of other minerals. In this review the writer stresses the field and geochemical relationships of the carbonatites and alkalic igneous rocks and concludes that carbonatites were deposited by carbonatic solutions having a wide range of temperature, pressure, and concentration and derived from alkalic magmas during the process of silicate crystallization. Brogger's concept of carbonate magma is evaluated in the light of more recent field and laboratory investigations, and the conclusion is reached that a carbonate magma in the normal sense is less likely to exist than carbonate-rich solutions which at elevated temperature and pressure can have a higher concentration of dissolved ingredients than normally believed for hydrothermal solutions.
At many localities the carbonatites occur as veinlike or dikelike bodies or as cores in volcanic plugs of alkalic rocks. Recent investigations indicate that the carbonatites and related alkalic rocks represent a relatively unevaluated category of ore deposits that contain an impressive reserve of such rare commodities as niobium (columbium), titanium, zirconium, rare earths, barium, strontium, uranium, magnetite, phosphate, vermiculite, and agricultural lime.

This method is not as sensitive as the peroxide method, but the vanadium(IV)-thiocyanate reaction product shows greater absorbancy than the blue vanadyl ion.

Kentucky","docAbstract":"Beds composed of oölites or of shell fragments are more soluble than beds of fine-grained or earthy limestone. Vertical crevices are most likely to develop where joints traverse the more soluble beds; bedding-plane crevices in the same beds are likely to form directly above shale partings that are somewhat thicker than average. In the Hopkinsville quadrangle 80 per cent of the wells drilled in limestone of Mississippian (Carboniferous) age obtain adequate water supplies for home or farm needs, because of the extensive development of the bedding-plane crevices.
Data from 146 wells reveal a fairly uniform distribution of crevices to an average depth of about 80 feet; the frequency of crevices declines rapidly at greater depth. A rapid increase in mineral content of water below 100 feet signals a decrease in rate of circulation that must be attributed to a decrease either in number of or size of crevices, or to a combination of both.
Ratio between the lowering of water level in observation wells and the gaged stream discharge during rainless periods (base flow) gives a storage coefficient of 0.005—that is, 0.5 per cent of drainable open space in creviced limestone. The average seasonal range of fluctuation of the water table is about 13 feet; thus the ground-water reservoir stores less than an inch of water in the interval between high and low water levels.

S. Geological Survey in Searles Lake basin and in the Mojave Desert near Barstow, California to test the application of geophysical exploration to the study of the geologic problems associated with the intermontane basins of southern California. In Searles Lake basin a coordinated gravity and seismic reflection and refraction survey indicated that the fill in the basin is about 3,300 feet thick with the greatest thickness occurring east of the center of the basin. The regional gravity data from the area near Barstow can be used to estimate the thickness and extent of the Tertiary and Quaternary deposits.

The first, applied many years ago, consists of detailed observation of aquifer inflow, outflow, and storage changes, and their variations in time. By analysis of these observations, estimates of the perennial recharge to the aquifer and other pertinent hydrologic data are obtained, all as gross characteristics of the aquifer. The need for greater detail gave rise to a second fundamental method: special field tests, such as pumping tests, by which the hydrologic coefficients could be measured in a comparatively short time. In order to evaluate properly the ability of an aquifer to serve as a source of perennial water supply, the geology and hydrology of the aquifer must be known in some detail over its entire area. The first method cannot supply the necessary detail in most cases, and the second method cannot ordinarily provide the needed areal coverage because of the lack of appropriate testing facilities. Thus an auxiliary third approach was sought which would combine the features of a simple data‐collection program with a final analysis yielding both adequate detail and areal coverage.
A method designed to satisfy these requirements is described. Water‐level altitudes, usually observed in the course of more general ground‐water studies, are analyzed by numerical methods, using finite‐difference approximations of the basic differential equations which describe ground‐water flow. Analytical methods are given for nonsteady flow through homogeneous and nonhomogeneous aquifers. Both direct and statistical solutions are shown. The hydrologic factors are computed as functions of transmissibility, and for the nonhomogeneous aquifer the variations of transmissibility in space are computed also from the water‐level data. Knowledge of the absolute value of any one of the hydrologic factors at some location in the aquifer permits conversion of the computed functions to absolute terms for all the aquifer flow field studied.

In the Tulare‐Wasco (or Delano) area of Tulare County, subsidence which was as much as rive feet in 1940 now has about doubled. The maximum rate of subsidence in recent years has been about 0.8 foot a year. In the Los Banos‐Kettleman City area of western Fresno County, major subsidence extends from Ora Loma on the north beyond Huron on the south, a distance of 70 miles or more. The maximum rate there approaches one foot a year. Plots of subsidence against decline in artesian pressure suggest that pressure decline is a major cause of the subsidence. Compaction of the soil after irrigation is known to have caused substantial local subsidence in the Los Banos‐Kettleman City area, and tectonic adjustment and other causes also may have contributed to the subsidence.

Multiple correlations have been computed relating the dry‐weather flow to the water level in a well and to a factor indicative of the rate of evapotranspiration. A method for forecasting the factor indicative of evapotranspiration and one for forecasting the water level in the well during dry weather are given; the result is a method for forecasting the dry‐weather flow of the Creek.

Murata found in 1947 that only a part of the total silica in aged samples of high-silica waters was determinable by the colorimetric method. Weitz, franck And schuchard later showed that ammonium molybdate reacts readily with the monomeric form of silica (probably H4SiO4) but very slowly with polymeric silica. If the colorimetric measurement is completed in two or three minutes, only the monomer is determined.
Nearly all silica of hot springs is in the monomeric form. Solubility equilibrium exists between dissolved (monomeric) and amorphous silica. For the hot springs that were studied, the solubility is about 315 p.p.m. at 90°C and 110 p.p.m. at 25°C, which is very similar to Krauskopf's experimental data.
Monomeric silica polymerizes so slowly to colloidal silica that many waters are supersaturated with respect to amorphous silica. The rate of polymerization is influenced by pH, temperature, degree of supersaturation, presence of previously formed colloidal and gelatinous silica and contact with opal and other substances. Supersaturated acid waters and alkaline waters with less than 100% supersaturation tend to remain supersaturated almost indefinitely, with little or no change. Precipitation of colloidal silica is favoured by high temperature and contact with opal.
Many connate and other ground waters, including some thermal springs, are much below saturation with respect to amorphous silica, probably because low-solubility quartz and chalcedony have been precipitating.
Quartz is favoured by relatively high temperature, slow rale of precipitation, and low degree of supersaturation, and is believed to form by deposition of monomeric molecules. Chalcedony is probably deposited when the degree of supersaturation is moderately high and the rate of deposition is relatively fast. The ranges of temperature over which quartz and chalcedony deposit no doubt overlap, but, if other factors are equal, quartz is favoured by high temperature.
Opal is favoured by relatively low temperature and rapid rate of precipitation. Although opal has probably been deposited at temperatures as high as 140°C, it is unstable and is slowly converted to chalcedony or quartz. Water that is saturated with respect to opal is highly supersaturated with respect to quartz. Opal is probably formed from monomeric or more probably, the smaller polymeric molecules of silica, retaining some of their water content. Evidence is lacking for the direct conversion of gelatinous silica to opal. Some differences in solubility probably exist between amorphous opal and opal that shows X-ray patterns like that of cristobalite.
The suggestion is made that clay minerals form by combination of monomeric silica and a comparable form of monomeric alumina, which must have very low solubility in waters within the pH range of 5 to 9. Because of the abundance and relatively high solubility of silica, the proposed reaction, dissolved alumina + dissolved silica ⇌ clay, is ordinarily displaced strongly to the right in hydrothermal alteration and in ordinary soil formation. With removal of free silica, aided by tropical rainfall and temperatures, the reaction may be displaced to the left by dissolution and removal of silica from the system. Alumina, because of its very low solubility, remains as bauxite.

The samples from the Star vein were collected over a strike length of 2,000 feet and a vertical distance of 5,300 feet.It is believed that Star mine sphalerite formed in equilibrium with Fe; consequently, following Kullerud's work, the Fe content may be used as a relative temperature scale. Relative Fe temperatures suggest that the lower portions of the Star ore body formed at lower temperatures than the upper portions of the ore body.Distribution of the minor elements in sphalerite is random within the ore body. Also, there is no correlation of Fe with minor elements other than Mn; therefore we believe temperature has had no influence on the distribution of minor elements, except Mn, in this ore body.The principal reason for this seems to be that equilibrium concentrations of the minor elements were not reached. Minor-element concentrations in sphalerite from the Coeur d'Alene district are similar to those in other districts throughout the world; consequently, the writers suggest that in general the minor-element content of sphalerite, other than perhaps Mn, cannot be an indicator of formation temperatures because equilibrium concentrations are rarely, if ever, attained.The average minor-element content in a district is probably that of the ore-forming solutions. Specific minor-element content in sphalerite is random.

Pitchblende has been identified in a few silverlead veins. These silver-lead veins occupy shear zones along which there is no evidence of large-scale lateral displacement. The wall rock adjacent to the veins is intensely silicified and sericitized quartz monzonite and granodiorite. The veins have yielded substantial quantities of lead, silver, zinc, and gold. The silver-lead veins consist principally of galena, sphalerite, tetrahedrite, chalcopyrite, and pyrite in a gangue of light- to dark-gray quartz, altered rock, gouge, and subordinate chalcedony and carbonate minerals. No anomalous radioactivity nor uranium minerals have been found in similar veins in prebatholithic rocks of the area.Chalcedony veins and vein zones, some of which are uraniferous, are distinctly different from the silver-lead veins and, with a single exception, are known only in the batholith. The chalcedony vein zones consist of one or more discontinuous stringers or veins of chalcedony and microcrystalline quartz in silicified and sericitized quartz monzonite and granodiorite, and in less strongly altered alaskite. Only small amounts of silver ore have been produced from these chalcedony veins and vein zones. All of the veins are early Tertiary in age, but the silver-lead veins probably are older than the chalcedony veins. Uranium is closely associated with chalcedony and microcrystalline quartz in both types of veins. This association suggests that all of the uranium in the area is of the same age. If so, some of the silver-lead veins must have been re-opened during the period of chalcedony vein formation.

In Remson and Fox's discussion of results they list five facts that are shown by the calibration.
The first three deal with the second drying curve being different than the first, and subsequent dryings being similar to the second one. Similar findings were brought out before by Bouyoucos [1949], and later substantiated by Colman [1949] and by others including the work at the Coshocton Station. The writer's discussion, however, is confined to the discrepancy of field calibration with laboratory calibrations which comprise the fourth and fifth facts discussed by Remson and Fox.
