    Mineralogical properties (crystal faces, elongation-ratio and size) of zircons in rhyolites and dacites are examined with the following results.
    (1) Color of zircons ranges from plae pink, yellowish brown to colorless.
    (2) Size of zircons is mostly about 0.15×0.08mm.
    (3) Zircons occur mostly as beautiful, euhedral crystals, free from corrosion.
    (4) The elongation-ratio (longer axis/shorter axis) falls mostly in group II (1.6-2.0).
    (5) When the crystal habits of zircon are classified into a, b, c, d, and e, the c-type is the most common, amounting to 80%.

    The clino-pyroxenes in basaltic folws from the Higashi-Matsuura district, range i the chemical composition from purple-augite through salite to aegirine-augite. In distinctly porous doleritic basalt flows, purple-augite grades in its margin into soda-augite or aegirine. Such an occurrence of zoned pyroxene is not uncommon in intrusive alkalic rocks, but rare in extrusive flows. Two kinds of purple-augite separated from parts of different of porosity a single lava flow were chemically analysed. Chemical formulas and optical porperties are as follows:

    Genetic consideration on these pyroxenes is also given.

    Various textures and structures indicative of cavity-filling and replacement of the Chinkuashih gold-copper ores are described and interpreted.
    They are in general characterized by the formation under the conditions of low temperatures and shallow depths. However, there is no evidence for the hypogene minerals deposited as colloids even in the interesting botryoidal and reniform ores.
    It is worthy of note that inter-mineral movement has occurred after deposition of enargite and luzonite and before that of alunite.
