Interplanetary dust particles (IDPs) characterized by chondritic composition can be divided into two principal groups, anhydrous and hydrated. This paper summarizes recent results of mineralogical and petrological studies dealing with the IDPs of hydrated type. Studies on mineralogical characteristics, infrared absorption spectra, and isotopic properties of the hydrated particles have suggested that they are primitive and may contain surviving interstellar material. The hydrated IDPs consist in major part of layer silicates and resemble CI and CM carbonaceous chondrites. Mineralogical and chemical data of both IDPs and carbonaceous chondrites have accumulated, and it is now possible to compare the mineralogies of the IDPs and the meteorites in considerable detail. Evidence was found that a significant proportion of the hydrated IDPs have been processed by aqueous alteration, and the nature of the alteration resembles that of similarly affected meteorites. The mineralogical and chemical data provide important clues to the possible origins of IDPs.
