Scientific paper

The abundance and significance of nickel in high-alumina basalts in island-arc environments is discussed in the light of comments by (1971). We conclude 1. (1) that the low Ni and Mg contents of many high-alumina basalts preclude the possibility of deriving orogenic andesites from these rocks by fractional crystallisation; and 2. (2) that the data are consistent with derivation of orogenic andesites by melting of the downgoing slab of oceanic crust in the island-arc tectonic environment.
