<title>Abstract</title>
<p>The occurrence of three accessory minerals with significant rare earth contents in Tertiary acid rocks of St. Kilda is described. Allanite, zirkelite, and chevkinite were identified by electron probe analysis (with energy-dispersive attachment) and the chevkinite confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Brief comparison is made with other Tertiary occurrences of <italic>RE</italic> minerals. This is the first recorded occurrence of chevkinite in Great Britain.</p></abstract>
