Volume 19 if Group III deals with the magnetic properties of metals, alloys and metallic compounds. The amount of information available in this field isso substantial that volume III/19 had to be split into several subvolumes. Subvolumes III/19a through III/19f treat the intrinsic magnetic properties, i.e. those properties which depend only on the chemical composition and the crystal structure. So far, subvolumes III/19a, III/19b, III/19c, III/19d, III/19e and III/19f1 have appeared. Subvolume III/19f covers the magnetic properties of actinide elements and their compounds. Part 1 is concerned with the actinide elements and their compounds with 3d, 4d and 5d-elements. The present part 2 contains information on compounds with main group elements. A comprehensive index of substances for volumes III/19a ... III/19f is included. Data on the properties that depend on the preparation of the samples measured, as for instance, thin films, amorphous alloys or the magnetic alloys used in technical applications, of III/19, viz. III/19g, III/19h and III/19i, of which III/19g, III/19h and III/19i2 have already been published.
