Scientific paper

The Cornish rocks (i) adamellite, (ii) granodiorite-gneiss, (iii) gabbro, (iv) hornblende-schist and (v) serpentine are described together with their weathering products. The minerals illite and kaolin are present in all the (2 ) clays derived from the rocks by weathering but chlorite and vermiculite are less widespread and talc and montmorillonoid occur in one clay only. Both mineralogically and chemically the compositions of the clays are nearer each other than are those of the rocks. The role of the minor elements in the rocks, minerals and clays in relation to the fate of the major elements is discussed.
