Themethod aprarently gives atomio weight values which are lower than those gain-ed by other more reliable methods. The ratio Ya03 : 2YC13 waR studied and some very consistent results wereobtained. Weighed quantities of yttrium oxide were converted to anhydrousyttrium chloride in a quarts flask, and weighed. Three values varying and were obtained. By a more careful study of the details thisvariation oan probably be reduced by-half. Yttrium material was prepared having only a very faint spectra in 10 of saturated solutions of the chloride. It was considered to have notmore than one-half per cent, erbium present. The average atomic weight ob-tained by the oxide-chloride method was -25- REFERENCES. 1) Gibbs, Am. J. Sol.
