这是矿物学会第三次出版这本专著。然而，自上一版（1961年）以来，这一主题已经发展得如此之大，以至于编辑们选择以一种完全修订的形式和一个新的标题来展示他们的作品。此外，他们有意将研究领域限制在X射线衍射对粘土矿物的表征上，认为这种技术构成了矿物研究的基本工具，并且在过去20年中出现的其他结构表征方法已经在其他专著中涵盖。这本书分为两个部分：前四章致力于粘土矿物结构的基本原理，而最后三章处理通过X射线衍射鉴定粘土矿物的实际问题。第一章（由S。W. Bailey）提出了层状硅酸盐的结构，重点是规则结构，而第二个（G。W. Brindley）处理粘土矿物结构中的有序-无序问题。第三章（D. M. C. MacEwan和M. J. Wilson）描述了粘土矿物的插层复合物，第四章（R. C. Reynolds）发展了间层理论，并对实验图解的解释作了简要说明。第五章和第七章描述了定性识别的程序（第五章，G. Brown和G. W. Brindley）和数量（第七章，G。W. Brindley），而第六章（由G. W. Brindley）处理与粘土有关的矿物。这本书很值得阅读。作者一直在努力跟踪知识的历史进展，在不同的领域描述，并指出的方法，似乎提供解决问题所提出的粘土晶体学研究。我很高兴地找到了比较不同来源矿物结构参数的表格，并讨论了它们的相对准确性，因为这些表格有助于我们对某些矿物群（如云母）的现有结构知识形成精确的认识。参考书目完整到1979年，索引编制得很好（只有几个关键术语，如fireclay和stevensite被省略）。作为一个整体，这是一个优秀的工作，应该是一个基本的文本在任何收集有关粘土，粘土矿物学和土壤科学。C.

This is the third publication by the Mineralogical Society of this monograph. However, since the preceding edition (1961) the subject has developed so considerably that the editors have chosen to present their work in a completely revised form and with a new title. In addition, they have deliberately limited their field of inquiry to the characterization of clay minerals by X-ray diffraction, considering that this technique constitutes a basic tool for the study of minerals, and that the other methods of structural characterization which have emerged over the last twenty years have already been covered in other monographs. The book is divided into two parts: the first four chapters are devoted to the fundamentals of the structures of clay minerals, whereas the last three deal with the practical problem of the identification of clay minerals by X-ray diffraction. The first chapter (by S. W. Bailey) presents the structures of layer silicates, with emphasis on regular structures, while the second (by G. W. Brindley) treats problems of order-disorder in clay mineral structures. Chapter III (by D. M. C. MacEwan and M. J. Wilson) describes the intercalation complexes of clay minerals, and Chapter IV (by R. C. Reynolds) develops the theory of interstratification and gives a brief account of the interpretation of experimental diagrams. Chapters V and VII describe the procedures for identification qualitatively (Chapter V, by G. Brown and G. W. Brindley) and quantitatively (Chapter VII, by G. W. Brindley), while Chapter VI (by G. W. Brindley) deals with minerals associated with clays. This book makes very worthwhile reading. The authors have endeavoured to trace the historical progress of knowledge in the different areas described, and to point out approaches which appear to offer solutions to the problems posed by the crystallographic study of clays. I was pleased to find tables comparing structural parameters of minerals obtained from different sources, accompanied by discussions on their relative accuracy, as these are so helpful in forming a precise idea about our present structural knowledge of certain mineral groups, such as the micas. The bibliography is complete to 1979 and the indexes have been well compiled (only a few key terms such as fireclay and stevensite have been omitted). As a whole this is an excellent work which should be one of the basic texts in any collection concerning clays, clay mineralogy and soil science. C. TCHOUBAR
