Magnetic susceptibilities () of Y, La, Ce, Nd, Sm, Yb, Lu, and theirnitrides were determined over a temperature range ex-tending from 2 to 300 K. Y, La, andLu and their nitrides are Pauli paramagnets. SmN orders antiferromagnetically below 13 K. NdN exhibits ferromagnetic ordering below 35 K. Its magnetic moment inthe ferromagnetic state at 2 K is 2.15 µ, as contrasted with 3.3 µ for the free Nd3+ ion. The reduction is ascribed to crystal field quenching. From the measuredmoment an over-all splitting of the ground state Nd8+ ion multiple! is estimated to be 234 K. The effective moment of Nd in paramagnetic NdN is in good agreement with that expected for the free ion. YbN exhibits Curie-Weiss behavior at> 100 K with a moment in fair agreement with that expected for the Yb3+ ion. However, the magnitude of for YbN and the low-temperature deviation from Curie-Weiss behavior are not understood. Results for Yb indicate 34% Yb3+ and 66% Yb2+. The CeN results indicate a mixture of Ce3+ and Ce4+ with the latter strongly predominating at low temperatures. In accordance with theoretical expectations no magnetic ordering is observed for CeN and YbN at tem-peratures down to 2 K.
