  • (Ross, 1996) does not explicitly give the positions of the Al and Si atoms, which we take from (Downs, 2003).
  • (Ewald, 1937) orginally gave Ca$_3$Al$_2$(SiO$_{4}$)$_3$ garnet the Strukturbericht designation $H31$ or $H3_{1}$. It was reclassified as a silicate and given the designation $S1_{4}$ by (Gottfried, 1937).
  • Although the original prototype was Ca$_3$Al$_2$(SiO$_{4}$)$_3$, we have better data for the isostructural Co$_3$Al$_2$(SiO$_{4}$)$_3$ and so use it as our example.
