The occurrence of iodine in igneous rocks was first conclusively demonstrated by Armand Gautier in 1901 (144). Since it had previously been detected in volcanic emanations and lavas and in the sludges from mud volcanos, and since it is often associated with boric acid, Gautier concluded that it must come from great depths and that therefore it ought to be possible to detect it in the most ancient rocks. His results showed that iodine, which exists in all the granites we have examined, seems not to form a constituent part of either their micas or of the apatites which... 

Armand Gautier and Paul Clausmann found fluorine to be a universal accompaniment of phosphorus in plant tissues (164). Although the unconditional necessity for fluorine for the plant has not been proved, it does occur in all plants and all plant parts (167).

Since Ramsay and Travers discovered neon in the most volatile portion of their argon (69), this immediately established the occurrence of neon in the atmosphere. In 1909 Armand Gautier showed that the fumaroles of Vesuvius and the gas which bubbled from the hot springs in an old crater at Agnano, near Naples, contained neon (69, 77). 

Ten years ago Kawamura (1 ) published a brief historical review on this reaction in memory of the sixtieth anniversay of its first report by Louis-Camille Maillard (2. The first Maillard paper was presented on January 8, 1912, by Armand Emile Justin Gautier (1837-1920) in a session of the Academy of Sciences in Paris. Six weeks earlier (November 27, 1911) a remarkable study was reported by Maillard (3) on the condensation of amino acids by use of glycerol. The method of peptide synthesis by Emil Hermann Fischer (1835-1919) was known to him. However, Maillard searched for milder conditions. 

In 1766 Cavendish separated hydrogen from other gases and showed that it burned to water. In connection with Lavoisier s discovery of the role of airy oxygen (1777) it became clear that water is a chemical compound. Only in 1900 was Armand Gautier the first to proclaim the presence of hydrogen in atmospheric air. This was verified in 1902 by Rayleigh s spectroscopic studies in air. 

On 29th May 1858, Wurtz himself was elected a member, and the meeting place was changed to Wurtz s own workplace. From this point on, Wurtz was deeply involved in the affairs of the society. His student and subsequent president of the society, Armand Gautier, later recalled, His vivacity, his cheerfulness, his natural cordiality quickly won him friends of all who approached him. In this fashion Wurtz became the soul and the true founder of the Societe chimique. ... 

But there is no question that in the Societe chimique Wurtz had helped to create an important new organization with many allies in leadership positions, and an editorial platform from which to broadcast his views. No fewer than nine students of Wurtz became presidents of the Societe chimique - Philippe de Clermont, Charles Friedel (three times), Auguste Scheurer-Kestner, Edmond Willm, Armand Gautier (three times), Edouard Grimaux (three times), Joseph LeBel, Maurice Hanriot (twice) and Alphonse Combes and the society s editorial board was generally packed with members of his circle." ...

The so-called ptomaines TTrcofiay a corpse), produced in the putrefaction of proteins, were investigated from 1873 by F. Selmi nd Armand Gautier. L. Brieger showed that they included several bases such as cadaverine or...

Both the fifth and the sixth editions were used for the French translation since the sixth edition appeared while the French edition was being prepared. The French translation should have been published in three volumes, hut the third volume was not published for some unknown reason (Dimitri Mendeleeff, Principes de chimie. Traduit du russe par E. Achkinasi [et. H. Carrion, avec preface de M. le professeur Armand Gautier., vol.1-2. (Paris Editeur B. Tignol, 1895-96) vol. I, [4], iv+585 pp. vol. II, [4], 499 pp.). 

While Wurtz only used the periodic classification in the service of the atomic theory, his former students and disciples were the first to utilize it for chemistry teaching. Edouard Grimaux (1835-1900), Armand Gautier (1837-1920), Edmond Willm (1833-1910) and Maurice Hanriot (1854-1933), who supported Wurtz s atomic views, made all possible efforts in the 1880s to introduce it in the French educational system, both in high schools and universities. Even more than Wurtz, Grimaux emphasized the relation of mutual reinforcement between the atomic theory and the periodic classification.
