New measurements of the electric G[sub E](Q[sup 2]) and magnetic G[sub M](Q[sup 2]) form factors of the nucleons are reported. The proton data cover the Q[sup 2] range from 1.75 to 8.83 (GeV/c)[sup 2] and the neutron data from 1.75 to 4.00 (GeV/c)[sup 2], more than doubling the range of previous data. Scaled by the dipole fit, G[sub D](Q[sup 2]), the results for G[sub Mp](Q[sup 2])/[mu][sub p]G[sub D](Q[sup 2]) decrease smoothly from 1.05 to 0.92, while G[sub Ep](Q[sup 2])/G[sub D](Q[sup 2]) is consistent with unity. The preliminary results for Gm.(Q2)1 GD(Q2) consistent with unity, while F[sub En][sup 2] is consistent with zero at all values of Q[sup 2]. Comparisons are made to QCD Sum Rule, diquark, constituent quark, and VMD models, none of which agree with all of the new data.
