Summary

In the rich mineral assemblage found in the pegmatites of Rhodesia and Uganda are members of the amblygonite-montebrasite series with α 1·592–1·615, γ, 1·612–1·638, the highest values corresponding to montebrasite, Li1·98Al2·00 (P1·95O7·90)(OH1·90F0·20); apatite with up to 8·8 per cent MnO; heterosite (new analysis) and other manganese-iron phosphates; and a variety of niobium-tantalum and uranium minerals.
