    Experiments on the synthesis of barium-strontium sulphate solid solution were performed. The results showed that the cell constants a0 and c0 of the solid solution series vary linearly with respect to chemical composition and corresponding changes in b0 follow a curve with gentle slope. Since the synthesized mineral was richer in barium than the solution, the [Sr2+]:[Ba2+] ratio of the solution became gradually higher as crystallization of the mineral progressed. The results also showed that the distribution coefficient kBaSr increased with increasing temperature.
    It was observed that crystallization of the mineral with intermediate [BaSO4]:[SrSO4] molar ratio ranging from about 1:1 to 1:4 at 270°C and from about 3:1 to 1:9 at 170°C, was extremely more difficult than the minerals outside these ranges. This indicates a possibility that at these ranges an immiscibility area exists. It appears that the area is enlarged with decrease in temperature.
    Many barite-celestite deposits are found in Neuquen province, Argentina. Some of them are of vein-type traversing stratified rocks. Others have bedded shapes, roughly concordant with stratification and formed by selective replacement of limestone seams by barite and celestite. Measured homogenization temperature of liquid inclusions in barite and celestite, their chemical compositions, wall-rock alterations, the associated sulphide minerals and the results of the present synthesis experiments suggest that these deposits were formed under the following conditions: (1) Some of the ore deposits were formed by hydrothermal solutions poor in strontium at rather high temperatures; (2) Some others were formed by hydrothermal solutions rich in strontium at rather high temperatures; and (3) the rest of the deposits were formed by hydrothermal solutions rich in strontium at rather low temperatures.

    The 34S/32S ratios of coexisting sphalerite and galena from Taishu, Toyoha and Kamioka Pb-Zn ore deposits have been measured to estimate the temperature of formation of ore deposit. All of the sphalerite samples were enriched in 34S compared with galena. Sulfur isotopic fractionation between sphalerite and galena ranges from 1.5 2.0 permil in the Taishu and Kamioka deposits, while in the Toyoha deposits ranges mostly from 2.5 to 3.0 permil. The fractionation of coexisting samples from early stage vein in Toyoha deposits is smaller than those from later stage vein. Using these isotopic fractionations and experimental temperature scale (Kiyosu, 1973), the temperature of formation is estimated to be 350° to 400°C in Kamioka deposits, 300° to 350°C in Taishu deposits and 200° to 250° in Toyoha deposits. These isotopic temperatures are slightly higher than filling temperatures determined from fluid inclusions of quartz and sphalerite.

    The chemical composition of ferromagnetic component of Kakuto, Ata and Osumi pumice flow tuffs covering the most area of Southern Kyushu, was investigated in relation to their origins. It was found that the combination of weight ratios of Mn/T-Fe+Ti-Zn/T-Fe+Ti was closely related to the origins and highly useful for the identification of these felsic pumice flow tuffs. The great deviation of the combination values of Kakuto samples was due to the plentiful existence of accessory or accidental materials.

    Cordierite and garnet of gneissic rocks from Takato were studied to estimate temperature and pressure of the Ryoke metamorphism. It is turned out that temperature is about 600°-650°C and pressure is 4.5-5kb.
