Tilley, C.E. and Scoon, J.H. (1961). Differentiation of Hawaiian basalts; Trends of Mauna Loa and Kilauea historic magma. American Journal of Science 259(1): 60-68.

New analyses strengthen the conclusion that the historic lavas of Mauna Loa and Kilauea are derived from different magmatic batches. The presence or absence of hypersthene in the lavas seems to be related to the silica and lime contents.
