          formula RCH=CHR’ in which R and R’ are identical or different               
          and are an alkyl radical having 1 to 14 carbon atoms”                       
          (Application 08/147,006, spec., p. 3, l. 5-8).  The complete                
          statement is reproduced below (Application 08/147,006, spec.,               
          p. 3, l. 5, to p. 4, l. 25):                                                
               The present invention accordingly provides a syndio-                   
               isoblock polymer of a 1-olefin of the formula RCH=CHR’                 
               in which R and R’ are identical or different and are                   
               an alkyl radical having 1 to 14 carbon atoms or R and R’,              
               with the carbon atoms joining them, form a ring, and the               
               said polymer has molecular chains in which syndiotactic                
               and isotactic sequences are present and the sequence                   
               length is 3 to 50 monomer units.                                       
               Furthermore, the invention provides a process for the                  
               preparation of the abovementioned syndio-isoblock                      
          polymers                                                                    
               by polymerization of a 1-olefin of the formula RCH = CHR’              
               in which R and R’ have the abovementioned meaning, at a                
               temperature of -60 to 100 C, a pressure of 0.5 to 100 bar,O                                             
               in solution, suspension or in the gas phase, in the                    
          presence                                                                    
               of a catalyst which is composed of a metallocene and an                
               aluminoxane, wherein the metallocene is a compound of the              
               formula I . . . .                                                      
               We find that all compounds of formula RCH=CHR’ in which R              
          and R’ are identical or different and each is an alkyl radical              
          having 1 to 14 carbon atoms, or R and R’, with the carbon                   
          atoms joining them, form a ring, are olefins.  However, we                  
          find that none of the compounds of formula RCH=CHR’ in which R              
          and R’ are identical or different and each is an alkyl radical              
          having 1                                                                    
                                         53
