Tilley, C.E. (1960). Differentiation of Hawaiian basalts--Some variants in lava suites of dated Kilauean eruptions. Journal of Petrology 1(1): 47-55.

The paper discusses briefly the trend of fractionation exhibited by basaltic lavas of 3 dated Kilauea eruptions, the suite of 1921 in Kilauea caldera and the suite of the 1840 and 1955 flank eruptions of Kilauea in the E. rift zone. The trend revealed is graphically indicated in terms of Fe/Mg and alkali enrichment.
