charge balance being maintained by substitution of fluorine and/or hydroxyl for oxygen. If indeed this occurs, the O(1) site would be partly occupied, a fact consistent with a large thermal parameter. However, the infrared absorption spectrum and electron-microprobe analysis of the phase given by Appleton et al. (1992) suggest such substitution occurs only in very small amounts, if at all. To test this hypothesis, occupancy of the O(1) site was released. Although the occupancy of the site dropped to 0.93(4), the value is less than 2 sigma from full occupancy and there was no decrease in the R value. These results suggest that the site is essentially fully occupied, a result in accord with the chemical and infrared data of Appleton et al. (1992). The large thermal parameter may thus result from factors such as positional disorder, not uncommon in atoms occupying positions of high symmetry as O(1) in daqingshanite-(Ce) (site symmetry = 3m). The results of the high-precision crystal structure study described herein elucidate the huntite-daqingshanite-(Ce) relationship; the work also demonstrates that the ideal formula of N k o m b w a Hi l l d a q i n g s h a n i t e ( C e ) is Sr3(REE)I(CO3)30aO4)I, and that there is little or no substitution of hydroxyl or fluorine in its atomic arrangement.
