Summary

The observed order of importance of the forms of baryte, anglesite, and celestine is first determined by a modification of the methods used by Donnay and Harker. Their hypothesis is applied to determine the space-groups of these minerals by morphological means, and a comparison is made of the observed and theoretical orders of importance of forms in these minerals. It is concluded that agreement is poor between the observed and predicted frequencies of forms in the baryte group. The rank distribution of some of the more important forms is presented graphically.

For celestine the Atlas gave details of 201 crystals with 941 forms from 48 localities and the Handbuch of 159 crystals with 935 forms from 123 localities.
