However, the diagram did appear in a less widely read geological pamphlet. The paper also dealt mainly with geological concepts, and did not suit the interests of many chemistry experts.

As a mine inspector, he introduced safety laws to prevent methane gas explosions, which were frequent occurrences at the time. He died in

Thus, he suggested that "the properties of the elements are the properties of numbers." He was the first scientist to see the 81:. After completing his studies at École Polytechnique, de Chancourtois went on a biological expedition into Philippines, Luzon and Visayas. In 1848, de Chancourtois went back to Paris and joined the teaching faculty as professor of mine surveying at the 41:, doing so in 1862. De Chancourtois only published his paper, but did not publish his actual graph with the irregular arrangement. Although his publication was significant, it was ignored by chemists as it was written in terms of geology. It was 168:
