The abundances of boron, silicon, sulfur, and sodium were determined in 50 pieces of 28 chondritic meteorites. Boron abundances are found to define compositionally distinct domains within type C2M carbonaceous chondrites and petrologic type 5 and 6 ordinary chondrites. These domains may manifest the redistribution of boron within meteorites in response to low-temperature hydrous processes in C2M chondrites and high-temperature metamorphic processes in high petrologic type ordinary chondrites. Assuming that the redistribution was limited to regions comparable in size to the mass of the available meteorites, the boron abundance in unaltered material is determined. The depletion factors for boron in chondritic subgroups correlate with those for sulfur in the same subgroups. This correlation indicates that boron, like sulfur, is a moderately volatile element with a condensation temperature between 400 and 900 K.
