Abstract
Earlier proposals for a theory of continuous bodies for which the tacit axiom of enduring permanence of material elements fails to apply (continua called appropriately ephemeral) are briefly reviewed and, in some detail, corrected. The consequent derivation of a simpler class echoing that of hypoelastic bodies introduced by Truesdell is preened and put on surer footing for possible progress.
