Chemically heterogeneous amphibole, ranging in composition from magnesio–riebeckite through ferri–ghoseite to clino–suenoite, was found in a specimen of Sanbagawa quartz schist from the Iimori region of the western Kii Peninsula, central Japan. The amphibole exhibits a continuous solid solution between BNa and BMn2+ (BMn2+ = 0–1.82 atoms per formula unit). Most of the amphibole crystals comprise a Mn–poor core and a Mn–rich rim, and ferri–ghoseite often occurs near the boundary between core and rim. The crystal structure of a single crystal fragment of ferri–ghoseite, which has an averaged composition of A(Na0.16K0.02)Σ0.18B(Na0.83Ca0.09Mn2+1.08)Σ2.00C(Mg3.78Mn2+0.52Fe3+0.66Al0.04)Σ5.00T(Si7.95Al0.05)Σ8.00O22W[(OH)1.90F0.10]Σ2.00 based on electron–microprobe analyses, was refined to a R1 of 6.7%, has unit cell parameters of a = 9.6389(7), b = 18.0534(10), c = 5.3138(3) Å, and β = 102.896(2)°, and is in space group C2/m with Z = 2. The site populations for B cations of the ferri–ghoseite are M4(Na0.83Ca0.09)M4’Mn2+1.08, which also confirms the B(Na,Mn2+) solid solution. Sector–zoned aegirine occurs in the amphibole–bearing quartz schist from Iimori, and it is assumed that most of the metamorphic minerals in the quartz schist formed under non–equilibrium conditions. Therefore, taking into account the miscibility gap between sodium amphibole and clino–suenoite, the solid solution between BNa and BMn2+ in the amphibole can be inferred to have resulted from rapid, non–equilibrium crystallization rather than high–T equilibrium crystallization.

In a 2012-2014 epidemiological study of feline and canine dermatophytoses in Japan, we investigated the prevalence of fungi among 296 cats and 170 dogs treated at a veterinary clinic and 51 cats and dogs at an animal shelter at Fukui City in Japan. Microsporum canis was isolated from only one cat out of the 517 animals. Also, from 2012 to 2017, we analyzed isolates from 76 cats and 15 dogs with dermatophytoses at 14 veterinary clinics across 10 prefectures in Honshu and Shikoku. M. canis was the cause for 85 of the cases and Microsporum gypseum for the other six. M. canis infection routes in cats are thought to include stray cats as well as breeding facilities and pet shops, whereas for dogs, only breeding facilities and pet shops. Tinea was found in 18.7% (14/75) of the owners of these animals. We showed that microsatellite genotyping is useful for molecular epidemiological investigations such as determination of infection routes of M. canis.
