The proposed geochemical law of , that elements are distributed log-normally in igneous rocks, is critically examined. It is concluded that existing data do not confirm this proposition or suggest any extension of it. The application of statistics to geochemistry is formulated under the topics of (1) description of results and (2) statistical prediction. Meaningful interpretations of frequency distributions in nature are dependent upon a knowledge of the factors involved in the formation of the geological system under study, and a knowledge of the contribution of laboratory and field sampling errors to the numerical data.
