A bstract Movement of montmorillonite, nontronite, kaolinite, halloysite, dickite, gibbsite, and diaspore within clays after they were first formed is indicated by the relations reported in this paper. Migration of these minerals takes place rarely by transfer of their constituents as true solutions but generally as colloidal suspensions whose formation and movement are favored by conditions of good drainage and the presence of dispersing agents. This migration increases the complexity of the clays affected by it and accounts for some of the variations in the composition of a single body of clay met by the clay producer.
