<title>Summary</title>
<p>Quantitative electronprobe microanalyses have been made of stannite from various localities. It was found that in general this mineral corresponds in composition to the formula Cu<sub>2</sub>FeSnS<sub>4</sub>. However, noticeable deviations in the ratio of the metals can occur and considerable concentrations of zinc may be present.</p>
<p>Some tin minerals related to stannite have also been analysed, namely hexastannite, mawsonite, and an apparently hitherto unknown mineral to which the name <italic>rhodostannite</italic> is given.</p></abstract>

<p>Quantitative Elektronenstrahl-Mikroanalysen von Zinnkiesen verschiedener Lagerst&#x00E4;tten wurden durchgef&#x00FC;hrt. Es wurde festgestellt, da&#x00DF; sie in ihrer Zusammensetzung gew&#x00F6;hnlich gut der Formel Cu<sub>2</sub>FeSnS<sub>4</sub> entsprechen. Es k&#x00F6;nnen jedoch merkliche Abweichungen im Verh&#x00E4;ltnis der Metallgehalte zueinander auftreten, insbesondere k&#x00F6;nnen betr&#x00E4;chtliche Konzentrationen von Zink vorhanden sein.</p>
<p>Es wurden auch einige dem Zinnkies verwandte Zinnmineralien analysiert n&#x00E4;mlich Hexastannit, Mawsonit und ein bisher unbekanntes Mineral, dem der Name <italic>Rhodostannit</italic> gegeben wird.</p></trans-abstract>
