<title>Summary</title>
<p>Three of the members of the plagionite group, f&#x00FC;l&#x00F6;ppite Pb<sub>3</sub>S<sub>8</sub>S<sub>15</sub>, plagionite Pb<sub>5</sub>Sb<sub>8</sub>S<sub>17</sub>, and semseyite Pb<sub>9</sub>Sb<sub>8</sub>S<sub>21</sub>, show linear correlations of cell volume and density versus PbS:Sb<sub>2</sub>S<sub>3</sub> mol ratios. This relationship can be used better to define the nature of the fourth member of the group, heteromorphite, Pb<sub>7</sub>Sb<sub>8</sub>S<sub>19</sub>. The cell dimensions derived for heteromorphite are <italic>a</italic> 13&#x00B7;60, <italic>b</italic> 11&#x00B7;93, <italic>c</italic> 21&#x00B7;22 &#x00C5;, &#x03B2; 90&#x00B0; 50&#x2032;.</p></abstract>
