We present chemical abundances obtained by fitting synthetic spectra to the FEROS data of 12 C-J stars, normal and silicate carbon one. The Li and 13C abundance, as well as the s-process elements abundance indicates no evidence of a diferent mechanism of formation between the two kinds of C-J stars. We also studied the α elements, and that suggests a scenario that put the carbon C-R stars as a possible progenitor of the beither C-J stars. We made also available a study of the radial velocity of some stars of the sample calculated at different epochs. That allowed us to make some discussion about the probable binary system of some silicon C-J carbon stars. Based on these abundances and radial velocities, we discuss possible evolutive sequences for the C-J.
