Abstract
IN a preceding communication1 it has been shown that the ‘transuranium’ elements are found among the fission products of uranium under neutron bombardment. Consequently they must be lower elements, probably partly somewhere near tellurium2, partly (the complementary fission fragments) in the region of ruthenium.
