These names occur among materials prepared from metals and discussed in relation to mercury. The list mixes historical alloy or material labels whose modern identities are not all secure. The edition consequently retains them rather than imposing a tidy modern classification. Their shared local role is as bodies allegedly subject to amalgamation and separation, not as additional pure elements.
