Abstract
THE factors which control the sheet dimensions of the layer lattice silicates have been carefully re-examined recently1, both from a structural point of view2, and by the methods of multiple regression analysis3. This has led to a new, more explicit geometrical model4 for the octahedral layers of these minerals, and thence to a detailed study of the balance of forces which must be involved. The results of the latter are outlined here.
