A Durham University PhD thesis by William Layton, submitted in October 1959. Part 1 reviews the classification, chemistry, optics and crystallography of the amphibole minerals and proposes a revised nomenclature. Part 2 is the author's published Ghana Geological Survey Bulletin No. 24, on the geology of the Winneba District of Ghana. Part 3 covers the factors governing amphiboles in amphibolites. On asbestos, the author says the terms 'asbestos' and 'crocidolite' should be dropped, and reproduces Merrill's (1895) anthophyllite asbestos analyses.
