Summary

Variation diagrams for the optic properties and densities of natural specimens within the series have been determined. They focus attention on two composition regions at about 45 % Cn and 65 % Cn. The significance of the first of these is uncertain, but it is suggested that the discontinuity at 65 % Cn is related to structural changes that take place at this composition.
