The representations of the Riemann and the Weyl tensors of a four-dimensional Riemannian manifold through covariant derivatives of third-order potentials are examined in detail. The Weyl tensor always admits a completely general representation whereas the Riemann tensor does not. Nevertheless there exists a class of Riemannian manifolds whose Riemann tensors may be calculated in terms of potentials; in this connection, specific examples are exhibited explicitly. The possibility of introducing gauges on the potentials is reexamined in connection with the previous result. New properties of the representations are also discussed.
