Abstract
The spectroscopy of hadrons, both bosons and baryons, is critically examined with respect to the classification scheme. This is done with respect to the Gell-Mann/Okubo mass formula and the partial decay rates of member states of individual multiplet families. The agreement is exceedingly good. The baryons are catalogued into octets with , nonets with , and decimets with Among the bosons, nonet structure is well established for , with less firm evidence existing for a host of other multiplets, .
