Summary

Compositions of nine hydrous aluminium phosphates are considered with respect to the AI, P, and H contents per 8 oxygens, and it is suggested that when the ratio (Al.P)/H is less than 0·11 (or (Al.P2)/H2 is less than 0.01) such compositions do not crystallize. Examples are bolivarite and evansite.
