Extract

Inquiry into this feature was stimulated by a reasonable doubt concerning the reality of the immiscibility gap in the clinoenstatite-diopside series. The existence of this gap was first suspected by Sosman and Asklund, and the identity of the gap with the composition field of the hornblendes has recently been suggested by Kennedy, whose comparative study of hornblende and pyroxene composition engaged statistical methods applied in the first instance by Asklund.
