<title>Summary</title>
<p>A new variety of chrome mica containing V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> and TiO<sub>2</sub> has been investigated by X-rays. It is shown that the crystals of this mica are monoclinic with <italic>a</italic>= 5&#x00B7;25 &#x00C5;, <italic>b</italic> = 9&#x00B7;03 &#x00C5;, <italic>c</italic> = 20&#x00B7;11 &#x00C5;, <italic>&#x03B2;</italic> = 96&#x00B7;00&#x2032;, space group <italic>C</italic> 2/<italic>c</italic>. Comparison of the intensities of the X-ray powder lines of this new variety of mica with that of pure muscovite may indicate structural changes. The optical properties and chemical composition of the mica are described.</p></abstract>
