A lively exchange with Sergio Mascarenhas (Uni-versidade de Sao Paulo at Sao Carlos) stimulated the recalculations that led to the discoveries of all new (Core)n(n + 1)s(n + 1)p bound negative ions. Charlotte Froese Fischer kindly provided us with very accurate HF results for Ca-4p and 4S°. Gordon Berry and Sven Mannervik kept alive our interest in excited states of negative ions through correspondence and conversations. To them we give our sincere thanks.
