Abstract

Varty & White's application of multivariate analysis to Grim & Kulbicki's measurements on montmorillonites has been re-examined and extended. Inconsistencies between their table of scored data and derived similarity table, and some unexplained errors in the similarity table, have only a small effect on their results. Similarities calculated from Grim & Kulbicki's data, using a different similarity coefficient, lead to a two dimensional representation which separates the groups of montmorillonites more clearly. The groups can be clearly separated even in a one dimensional representation, by changing the relationship between distance and similarity.
