The changes in X-ray diffraction patterns of layer silicates which result from dry heat-treatments below 550°C have been studied and the results are tabulated in order of increasing temperature at which these changes are observed; the structural implications are briefly considered. In order to evaluate the effects of composition, particle size and disorder, synthetic clay minerals have been used in addition to natural clays. This summary of X-ray data may be of value in the identification of clay minerals in mixtures.
