is a process of much Importance.
The metasomatic processes diff
fer, in character of course, in
different country rocks. In igne-
GUS rocks of medium acidity a
strong specialization is very apt
to take place Immediately adjoin-
ing the vein with the attendant
concentration OF potassium and
teaching of lime, iron and mag
nesia. Fertilization is also of
common occurrence. The solu-
lions appear on the whole to have
been poorer in carbon dioxide
than those of the deep seated de-
posts and extensive carbonatiza-
ton is therefore less common.
On the other hand, the solu-
tons have a tendency to spread
from the veins through large area
adjoining rocks. probably owing
to more extensive assuring near
the surface, and here, robbed of
their most active ingredients, they
produce the so-called 'propyliti-
cation, " which consists in the de-
velopment of chlorite and epidote,
as well as pyrite, from the dark
silicates, ard in the eventual de-
generation of the feldspars into
quartz, chlorite and epidote.
In very basic rocks this propy-
litization may proceed closely up
to the vein, but as stated above,
specialization is likely to take
place. Complete sihcification of
the wall rock is more common in
these deposits than elsewhere.
In large altered areas irregular
masses Of completely silicifed
rocks are often met with. These
products of replacement are usu-
ally dark gray or brown and fine
grained, fiinty or cherry rocks.
Silicious rocks like rhyolite are
especially subject to this irregu-
lar silicifcation,
