In order to predict the possible existence of new particles, the properties of the known particles, their production and decay characteristics, and some useful schemes for their classification are reviewed. New possibilities are considered through the extrapolation of such schemes, mainly that of Gell- Mann and Nishijima, subject to the conditions that no elementary particle be multiply charged. For each prospect, the decay and production mechanism are considered, and the predictions, following from its possible existence, are subjected to the available observational information. The is left with two prospects: a strangeness plus or minus 2, singlet, charged boson and a strangeness --3, negative, singlet hyperon. Some possible experiments for their production and observation are discussed. (auth)
