Glass transformations, glass transition temperatures, various glassy states under elevated pressures, and polyamorphism are reviewed. There are two types of polyamorphism in the glassy states: the first is that produced from the history of glass-forming conditions, and the second is that produced from changes in the structure of liquids. A critical point of structural polyamorphism is deduced from the recent experiments on the first-order like glass-glass transition of tetrahedral glasses. The critical point locates on the equilibrium liquid surface in the P-V-T space under an elevated pressure below the glass transition temperature, but above the Kauzmann temperature. The low-temperature limit of the liquid under the critical pressure is the critical point; and the liquid, except the critical pressure, vitrifies gradually without any transition. The equations of the glassy states are briefly discussed.
