The principles of distribution of chemical elements in minerals and rocks. The seventh Hugo Müller Lecture, delivered before the Chemical Society on March 17th, 1937

THE SEVENTH HUGO MULLER LECTURE , DELIVERED BEFORE THE CHEMICAL SOCIETY ON MARCH 17~~, 1937.

By PROF. DR. V. M. GOLDSCHMID

WHEN, eight years ago, I had the honour of presenting a lecture (“ The Distribution of the Chemical Elements,” Friday Evening Lecture,March 15th, 1929) in this same room before an audience of the Royal Institution concerning geochemical research work at the University of Oslo, I explained some views on a problem, the study of which is interesting both for chemists and geologists, namely, the distribution of the chemical elements. I then gave some outlines of the problems involved, and also described examples of systematic relations. 

Meanwhile, the general programme for geochemical research work indicated then has largely been followed; results have been obtained concerning the actual amount and distribution of nearly all the chemical elements, this having, in many cases, been rendered possible by new and improved methods of analysis. At the University of Gottingen, during the years 1929-1935, continuing and extending previous work at Oslo, I again had the privilege of co-operating with a number of young mineralogists, chemists, and physicists engaged in the problem of determining the composition of minerals and rocks, especially with regard to rare constituents.
