Abstract: Abstract This paper presents a continuation of work done by Cayley. Cayley has repeatedly investigated combinatorial problems regarding the determination of the number of certain trees1, Some of his problems lend themselves to chemical interpretation: the number of trees in question is equal to the number of certain (theoretically possible) chemical compounds.
