The authors investigated data related to the solubility of oceanic salts containing NaCl mainlym Chemical Abstracts published from 1940 to 1970. As the result, they made out four newbles; namely, three four-component systems, Na, Mg Cl, SO
4-H
2O, Na, K Cl, SO
4-H
2O and Na, Mg Cl-H
2O and a five-component system, Na, K, Mg Cl, SO
4-H
2O. These tables represent thempositions of liquid phases and the kinds of solid phases on the mono-variant points saturatedth NaCl.
The authors made out of these data polythermic equilibrium diagrams within the temperaturege of 50°C to 110°C, partially modifying the diagrams shown in the classical work of D'Ans.
It was confirmed that the point of Y, at which four solid phases, namely, NaCl, loeweite (Na
