Critical examination of a plot of 936 available analyses of calciferous and subcalciferous amphiboles leads to the conclusion that the maximum possible A16 increases regularly as the Ala increases. The maximum allowed A16 at any Al{ value is empirically obtained. New chemical analyses, together with new optical determinations, are given for three previously described amphiboles, from Madras and North Carolina, which appeared to contain more than the maximum allowed A16. The new analyses show that the two Madras amphiboles contain much less than the maximum possible A16, whereas the North Carolina sample contains the most A16 allowed ior its All content.
