A bstract Six samples of clay from Dutch Guiana were analyzed chemically and thermally to determine the silica, the alumina, and the clay minerals present. The thermal method gives excellent quantitative results with a precision of 3 or 4% on clays of this type. Thermal curves are also shown for a few other hydrated iron minerals as data on these were not previously available.
