The relative abundances of various elements normalized to Ni were plotted against Ga abundance on the basis of the results of recent instrumental neutron activation analyses of 22 low-Ge irons. Mean abundances of Co, P, Au, As, Cu, Ge, and Zn in the iron meteorite groups and anomalous irons are generally between 1 and 0.00001 and are positively correlated with Ga. Mean abundances of refractory elements are generally between 0.5 and 2, and with the possible exception of W are uncorrelated with Ga. The mean gradients of the primary fractionation curves on element-Ga abundance diagrams increase in approximately the same order in which, according to Wai and Wasson (1977), these elements condensed into Fe, Ni grains during equilibrium nebular condensation.
