The contacts resulting from the intrusion of granitic materials into various rocks show large variations in chemical composition and alpha-activity along a traverse normal to the contact boundary. Trials of
167 sites of granite contacts have revealed that the alpha-activity variations have been found not only in wall rcoks but also in intrusive rocks, and those in the latter are more conspicuous than in the former. The shapes of variation in invading rock are tentatively classified into five types. On the other hand, studies of these variations by the analyses of closely spaced samples using semi-quantitative spectrographical method and by measurements of beta-activity have been described. The results obtained by spectrographical method indicate that across the contact of the shallow intrusive, the increase of volatile matter within the invading rock with decreasing distance from the boundary is conspicuous, but across the contact of deeper intrusive, the distributions of volatile matters are obscure, that is, distributions of all of the minor elements are averaged when high temperature and concentration gradieints prevailed. No remarkable variations in beta-activity distribution have been found across contacts in spite of the large variations in alpha-activity distributions.
