Extract

In an earlier paper the writer has discussed the paragenesis - kyanite-omphacite as observed in certain ec|ogites. The fate of this association under conditions of retrograde metamorphism has led to a consideration of rocks showing the paragenesis amphibole-kyanite, a point which is briefly taken up in the present communication. Rocks containing this latter assemblage include two groups, the one better known, of sedimentary origin, the other essentially igneous in origin.

Here are included members of the para-amphibolites, biotite-hornblende- schists, and hornblende-Garbenschiefer derived from sediments of the character of calcareous and dolomitic shales. The best-known examples come from the Alps—particularly the Triassic and pre- Triassic sediments on the south side of the St. Gotthard massif.
