Abstract

A method of preparing grid deviation maps for the representation of the areal composition variations in granitic bodies is described. A comparative study of this method and the trend surface method by using the data of forty-five modal analyses of Bahalda hornblende granodiorite indicates greater effectiveness of the former in several respects.
