<title>Summary</title>
<p>Jurassic limestones occurring in a screen between two ring dykes are shown to have undergone two periods of thermal metamorphism; the first charac-terized by a high ratio of CO<sub>2</sub>:H<sub>2</sub>O and the second by a high ratio of H<sub>2</sub>O:CO<sub>2</sub> in the vapour phase. The first metamorphism produced minerals characteristic of Bowen's decarbonation series. Some of these minerals became unstable in the second metamorphism and (OH, F) bearing minerls were produced. A stage of fracture-controlled replacement veins with mineral assemblages which indicate a varying CO<sub>2</sub>:H<sub>2</sub>O ratio in the vapour and a general falling temperature sequence terminate the metamorphic history. Three new minerals, rustumite (Ca<sub>3</sub>Si<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub>.Caterminate (OH)<sub>2</sub>), dellaite (Ca<sub>12</sub>Si<sub>6</sub>O<sub>22</sub>(OH)<sub>4</sub>), and kilchoanite (Ca<sub>3</sub>Si<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub>), of which the last has previously been described, are characteristic of the second episode of meta-morphism.</p></abstract>
