<title>Summary</title>
<p>Electron diffraction and electron-microprobe investigations have revealed the presence of order in the monazite-huttonite series. Chemical analyses from the literature and electron-microprobe analyses in this study show that the monazite-huttonite series, <italic>RE</italic>PO<sub>4</sub>-ThSiO<sub>4</sub>, is only continuous if the contribution of F, <italic>M</italic><sup>2+</sup>, and OH to the charge balance is taken into account. The electron-diffraction study points to ordered domain structures in the series.</p></abstract>
