Abstract
A WHITE mineral coating joint-faces in quarries in the Northampton Ironstone (Inferior Oolite) was long ago recorded as allophane. During the six-inch geological survey of that ironstone field during 1939–44 comparable material was widely recognized, and this note is published with the concurrence of the Director of the Geological Survey and Museum.
