Several kinds of metal—insulator transitions are discussed. In non—crystalline systems a second order "Anderson" transition can be described without considering electron—electron interaction. In crystalline systems, we describe band—crossing transitions and "Mott" transitions, both of which shoulc show a discontinuity in the number of carriers when electron—electron interaction is included. The difficulty of observing this directly is stressed. Sufficient disorder in the system will remove the discontinuity. Fluid caesium, metal—ammonia and expanded fluid mercury are contrasted with Si:P. Some crystalline compounds of transition metals Ti2O., VU2, V03, Ni52 and NiS are described, each of which seems to involve is own ditferent mechanism. A new suggestion is made for Ti2O3. One other kind of transition is briefly mentioned, the Verwey transitions in Fe3O4.
