Solid-liquid-vapor phase equilibria have been determined for parts of the system CaO-SiO 2 -CO 2 -H 2 O by delineating the phase fields intersected by the composition join CaCO 3 -Ca(OH) 2 -(SiO 2 + 4.3 weight per cent H 2 O) at 1 kilobar pressure between 600°C and 975°C. The phases encountered were: dicalcium silicate (C 2 S), Ca 2 SiO 4 ; calcite (CC), CaCO 3 ; portlandite (CH), Ca(OH) 2 ; spurrite (Sp), Ca 5 (SiO 4 ) 2 (CO 3 ) 2 ; caleiochondrodite (Ch), Ca 5 (SiO 4 ) 2 (OH) 2 ; liquid (L), with composition remaining close to the plane Ca 2 SiO 4 -CaCO 3 -Ca(OH) 2 ; vapor (V), with composition ranging between CO 2 and H 2 O. At the pressure of 1 kilobar, the following ternary univariant reactions, (2) and (3), and quaternary univariant reactions, (6), (7) and (8). were established at the temperatures indicated: (2) CH + Ch + V L ( E 2 ) at 774 ± 10° C ; (3) Ch + V C 2 S + L ( P 3 ) at 955 ± 10° C ; (6) CC + CH + Ch + V L ( E 6 ) at 637 ± 10° C ; (7) CC + Ch + V Sp + L ( P 7 ) at 677 ± 10° C ; (8) Sp + Ch C 2 S + L ( P 8 ) + V at 860 ± 10° C . The vapor in each reaction is high in H 2 O content. From these results and other published data a schematic equilibrium diagram for the whole system is constructed. A large field for spurrite extends down to 677°C on the vapor-saturated liquidus surface but wollastonite is not stable in equilibrium with both liquid and vapor below 1000°C at this pressure. The plane Ca 2 SiO 4 -CO 2 -H 2 O is a thermal divide; original liquids containing more SiO 2 than this plane yield only silicates and vapor on crystallization, whereas original liquids containing less SiO 2 than this plane can yield low temperature liquids precipitating hydrated and carbonated phases (synthetic carbonatite magmas). Applications to carbonatites and the thermal metamorphism of silicious limestones are discussed briefly
