Abstract

A report is given of the decisions reached at a meeting on the classification and nomenclature of clay minerals held under the auspices of Comité International pour l’Etude des Argiles at Brussels in July 1958. Tables of recently-proposed classification systems are included and some comments made on problems requiring agreement.
