TABLE 3. Major element and CIPW norm composition of representative rocks from Öræfajökull.
Before norm calculations the I'ejO j/FcO ratios for theoleiites, theoleiitic icelandites and icelandites were
adjusted to 0.15, and all analyses were recalculated to a 100% water-free basis.

series (Jakobsson 1979) and of the Coombs trend
(Miyashiro 1978).
As an example of a real transitional series with
peralkalinity appearing at SiO., about 68 wt%, the
trend of the Bouvetoya series (Imsland et al. 1977) is
plotted in Fig. 3. The Öræfajökull rocks are consist-
ently less alkaline than the Bouvetoya series, and
this is especially clear in the case of the silicic rocks
of the two series, a feature that may be related to
different modes of formation. The slightly peralka-
line rhyolites of the Bouvetoya series were probably
derived by fractionation from the more basic rocks
oftheseries (Imslandetal. 1977) whereasmostrhyol-
ites of Öræfajökull are thought to have been formed
