However, many large, diverse and important provinces are not widely known, including the 20 or so major provinces of the U.S.S.R. and some of the major concentrations of South America. Although alkaline rocks are known to be characteristic of stable, intra-plate environments, it is becoming clear that they also play an important role in the igneous activity concentrated at plate margins. In this respect also, therefore, it is concluded that the collation of all the available regional data can make a significant contribution to understanding these rocks. Sorensen (1974) in the Preface to 'The Alkaline Rocks' noted that owing to the limitations of space 'it was decided not to include a special section on the mineralogy of alkaline rocks and also not to com
