Abstract/NotesIn their paper on 'The structure of α and β quartz', Sir William Bragg and R. E. Gibbs touch on the question of twinning of quartz, showing how X-ray determination of structure can help to explain the different types of twinning. They only mention, however, twinning with parallel axes and twinning on . It would be interesting to see this extended to the examination of all known laws of twinning of α-and β-quartz. There is, however, still much doubt about the laws of the twinning of quartz. Many varieties of twins have been described, but a number of these are much open to doubt, while some are decidedly nonexistent. G. Friedel has within recent years published valuable papers on the laws of twinning in general, and has made more special application of his theories to the laws of twinning of quartz. It would be interesting to see how far all cases of well-established quartz twins occurring ill nature confirm his results.
