Abstract:
    We have obtained uvbyCa data for over 300 giants and horizontal branch
    stars in  three fields of M22.  The spread in (b-y)  for the giant and
    horizontal   branches  is  consistent  with  a  spread  in  foreground
    reddening Delta-E(B-V) ~ 0.08.  Reanalysis  of the data  of Norris and
    Freeman (1983) indicates not only positive correlations between CH, CN
    and  a unimodal distribution for Ca. Our photometric indices, m_1, and
    hk, demonstrate a range in metallicity that persists to two magnitudes
    below the horizontal  branch,  and  confirm  the  correlation  between
    calcium  abundance  and  CN/CH.   We   infer   from   comparisons   to
    spectroscopic data that  m_1 is dominated  by the CN  and CH abundance
    and find  no independent evidence of a  range in [Fe/H]. The excessive
    ranges in m_1 and hk  also  suggest  the  influence  of  a  continuous
    opacity   source,  reminiscent  of  the   Bond-Neff  effect,  that  is
    correlated  with CNO abundance. The relative contributions of internal
    mixing and primordial variations for M22's giants are discussed.
