Abstract
Study of basalts from many localities, including rocks from Kilauea (dike) and Mauna Kea, shows that the essential mineral phases are plagioclase, forming a reaction series from calcic to sodic, and pyroxene, forming a reaction series from diopsidic to clinohypersthenic. Depending on initial composition, either plagioclase or pyroxene may start to crystallize first, changing composition until simultaneous crystallization occurs. Slight differences in composition of the parent magma may result in production of an end-magma either oversaturated or undersaturated in silica. The author comments on papers by Kennedy (1933) and Powers (1935), both of which criticize his previous work (Barth, 1931a).
