After a survey of existing results, several new ones are offered for the identric mean \(I(a,b)=e^{-1}(a^{-a}b^ b)^{1/(b-a)}\quad (a\neq b),\quad I(a,a)=a,\) the logarithmic mean \(L(a,b)=(b-a)\ln^{- 1}(b/a)\quad (a\neq b),\quad L(a,a)=a\quad (a>0,\quad b>0)\) and the arithmetic and geometric mean; for instance \[ L(a,b)I(a,b)^{t- 1}<L(a,b)(b^ t-a^ t)/(t(b-a))<(a^ t+b^ t)/2\quad (a\neq b,\quad t\neq 0). \] Logarithmic convexity and integral representations of the above means are used. The definition of a ``new mean'' is unfortunately misprinted: it should be \[ J(a,b):=1/I(1/a,1/b)\quad (=\quad e(b^ aa^{-b})^{1/(a- b)}\text{ for } b\neq a,\quad J(a,a)=a). \]
