<title>Summary</title>
<p>Properties and possible structures of hydronium trihydrate H<sub>9</sub>O<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup> and hexahydrate H<sub>15</sub>O<sub>7</sub><sup>+</sup> are considered. From the 2330 minerals listed in Strunz's mineralogical tables nineteen were selected that appear to contain H<sup>+</sup>.4H<sub>2</sub>O or H<sup>+</sup>.7H<sub>2</sub>O, and the possibility of discrete H<sub>9</sub>O<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup> or H<sub>15</sub>O<sub>7</sub><sup>+</sup> groupings existing in their crystal lattice is discussed. From a crystallochemical point of view the most probable examples of hydronium hydrate compounds are layer lattice minerals like H-montmorillonite, H-vermiculite, troegerite, H-meta-autunite, sabugalite, and hewettite.</p></abstract>
