Extract

In an earlier paper the authors described the occurrence of artificial kalsilite in the hearth of no. 3 blast-furnace of the Kettering Iron Company. That paper contained a detailed description of the furnace campaign together with the peculiar conditions observed in the excavated hearth which was found to exhibit zoning in a vertical direction. The third zone containing kalsilitc was described in detail, but the only reference to the second zone stated that it was 2 inches deep (fig. 2, p. 77, this vol.) and consisted of a black glassy slag containing numerous crystals of cordierite (p. 78). The detailed examination of this zone now forms the basis of the present paper.
