We misspelled a number of elements in the periodic table printed
in part VI of the Science Course supplement distributed with the
paper on May 1. We meant Iron (not Irone); Praseodymium (not
Praseodynium); Neodymium (not Neodynium); Neptunium (not
Neptuniam); Americium (not Americum); Seaborgium (not
Seoborgium); and Darmstadtium (not Darmstadium). The Great
Beyond goes on to present the first ever Neodymium mis-spelling
league. Nature does not do too well, but at least it has never
mis-spelled (or mis-spoke) "iron" as "irone". Nature 148,
114-114 (26 July 1941). Abstract: THE formulation of Irene as 1:
1: 2: 6-tetra-methyltetralin has recently been established
synthetically by Bogert and Apfelbaum. On the basis of this
formulation of irene and the production of ββγ-trimethyl pimelic
acid by ozonization of irone, structural formulæ have been
postulated for this ketone by Ruzicka and his co-workers. Two of
the postulated structures contain the chromophoric system C = C
– C = C – C = O which should therefore gi
