Data on the distribution of rare elements and isotopes of light elements in igneous rocks of the earth's crust and in various types of meteorites, as well as data on the zone melting of the silicate fraction of chondrites and other silcates, are used for the clarification of the genesis of various meteorite types as compared with the genesis of igneous rocks of the earth. The composition of gone meteorttes is briefly discussed as an intruction to a consideration of the digribution of rare elements in various gone meteorites and igneous rocks. The isotopic composition of the carbon, oxygen, sufur, and hydrogen content of igneous rocks and meteorites was investigated. Zone melting of chondrites and silicates gave further data on the composition of meteorites and igneous rocks. The probable common processes leeding to the formation of igneous rocks and stone meteorites are discussed. (J.S.R.)
