ABSTRACT WITHIN a period of about two years the chemical world has been startled by the successive announcement of the discovery of no less than fourteen1 new elementary bodies. All of them
are classed as metals, and eleven are said to belong to the yttrium or to the closely-allied cerium group. Without pausing to examine the advisability of announcing the discovery of a new
element whenever an unknown reaction crops up, we purpose to give a brief account of these discoveries, and to investigate, as far as possible, what claim they may have to be honoured with a
place in our lists of the chemical elements. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access
