Sink‐hole type deposits filled with flint fire clay have been known in the Ozark region of Missouri for many years. Within the last ten years, an associated clay, formerly discarded as waste, but now recognized as diaspore clay has been developed. The paper outlines the general geology of the district and discusses the clays and mode of occurrence of the deposits, Brief mention is made regarding future production and probable developments in this interesting district.
