This paper deals with certain ore-deposits whose structural features or mineral contents (or both) result. directly or indirectly. from igneous intrusions and their afier-effects. It is largely a discussion of contact metamorphic ore-deposits based upon the physical changes in rocks due to contact action. It involves a classification of ore-deposits only so far as is abso-
