<title>Summary</title>
<p>Identification of clinopyroxene lamellae in Bushveld-type orthopyroxene from the Greenhills Ultramafic Complex has been made on the basis of partial analysis by electron microprobe as well as by unit cell determination by prolonged exposure to X-rays of single crystals of orthopyroxene. Lamellae averaging Ca<sub>42</sub>Mg<sub>47</sub>Fe<sub>11</sub> in composition with an approximate unit cell <italic>a</italic> 9&#x00B7;79, <italic>b</italic> 8&#x00B7;90, <italic>c</italic> 5&#x00B7;29 &#x00C5;, <italic>&#x03B2;</italic> 106&#x00B0; 14&#x2032;, occur in orthopyroxene Ca<sub>2</sub>Mg<sub>67</sub>Fe<sub>31</sub> with unit cell <italic>a</italic> 18&#x00B7;28, <italic>b</italic> 8&#x00B7;85, <italic>c</italic> 5&#x00B7;20 &#x00C5;. The Greenhills lamellae are of orientation identical to those described by Hess (1960), which share <italic>c</italic> and <italic>b</italic> axes with host orthopyroxene.</p></abstract>
