Marignac I have been enabled to compare a specimen of Ya of his 

 own preparation with the earth described above. The two earths 

 agree in their chemical characteristics, and their phosphorescent 

 spectra are practically identical. 



JSTo name has yet been given to this earth, as M. de Marignac appears 

 to be in some doubt whether it is not identical with J. Lawrence 

 Smith's earth mosandra.* A specimen of mosandra prepared by 

 J. Lawrence Smith, and sent me by M. de Marignac, gave a phospho- 

 rescent spectrum showing that it was compound, and that yttria was 

 one of its constituents.
