PART II.
HYPERSTHENE-ANDESITES.
CHEMICAL ANALYSES OF ANDESITES.
The analyses given in the following table are all of Crater Lake rocks, with the exception of the last, which is from Crater Peak, California, and is given for comparison. The analyses were made by the chemists of the United States Geological Survey. The numbers at the heads of the columns are the specimen numbers.

It is a little surprising and also unfortunate that out of five specimens of andesite selected by Mr. Diller for chemical analysis four should turn out to belong to one type, and this not the most common one. It is surprising, because these specimens were selected with a view to representing typical occurrences. As the selection was made before an opportunity was given for microscopic study, it was impossible to distinguish the different types from the hand specimen alone.
