Abstract
LEWIS1 has asserted that the so-called elementary particles are not elementary but are composed of tamaids and pions. Each elementary particle of mass greater than that of the pion consists of a π-meson as nucleus and tamaids either as a static conglomerate or rotating in various orbits around it. He has calculated the masses of the various neutral and charged particles on the basis of the equations 
and has claimed an excellent agreement between theory and experiment. In this communication, we shall analyse his assertions.
