Abstract
THE geochemical association of certain pairs or groups of elements has been noted by several authors, and a classical example is the rubidium/thallium relationship which has been described by Abrens1. In order that such a coherence should be established, it is necessary that not only should a large number of accurate analyses be available but also that these data should be obtained for each element on identical geological specimens.
