The corresponding group, headed by oxygen--oxygen, chromium, molybdenum,
wolfram and uranium--offers us another problem in its first member.
OXYGEN (Plate VIII, 4). This was examined by us in 1895, and the
description may be reproduced here with a much improved diagram of its very
peculiar constitution. The gaseous atom is an ovoid body, within which a
spirally-coiled snake-like body revolves at a high velocity, five brilliant
points of light shining on the coils. The appearance given in the former
diagram will be obtained by placing the five septets on one side on the top
of those on the other, so that the ten become in appearance five, and thus
doubling the whole, the doubling point leaving eleven duads on each side.
The composition is, however, much better seen by flattening out the whole.
On the proto level the two snakes separate and are clearly seen.

CHROMIUM (Plate VIII, 5) "reverts to the ancestral type," the tetrahedron;
the funnel is widened by the arrangement of its contents, three spheres
forming its first ring, as compared with the units in beryllium and
calcium, and the pairs in strontium and molybdenum. Two of these spheres
are identical in their contents--two quintets (7 _f_), a quintet (7 _j_),
and two quintets (7 _e_), _e_ and _f_ being to each other as object and
image. The remaining sphere (7 _b_) is identical with the highest in the
calcium funnel. The remaining two spheres, one below the other, are
identical with the corresponding two spheres in calcium. The central globe,
as regards its external segments, is again identical with that of calcium,
but in the internal segments a six-atomed triangle (7 _k_) is substituted
for the calcium four-atomed one (7 _e_).

MOLYBDENUM (Plate VIII, 6) very closely resembles strontium, differing from
it only in the composition of the highest pair of spheres in the funnels
and in the presence of a little sphere, containing two atoms only, in the
middle of the central globe. The topmost spheres contain no less than eight
subsidiary spheres within each; the highest of these (7 _e_) has four atoms
in it; the next three have four, seven and four (7 _e_ _g_ _e_),
respectively; the next three are all septets (7 _g_), and the last has
four--making in all for these two spheres 88 atoms, as against the 48 in
corresponding spheres of strontium, making a difference of 160 in the four
funnels.

II a.--This group contains magnesium, zinc, cadmium, and mercury, with an
empty disk between cadmium and mercury; we did not examine mercury. All are
diatomic, diamagnetic and positive; the corresponding group consists of
sulphur, selenium and tellurium, also all diatomic and diamagnetic, but
negative. The same characteristics of four funnels opening on the faces of
a tetrahedron are found in all, but magnesium and sulphur have no central
globe, and in cadmium and tellurium the globe has become a cross.
[Illustration: PLATE IX.]
MAGNESIUM (Plate IX, 1) introduces us to a new arrangement: each group of
three ovoids forms a ring, and the three rings are within a funnel; at
first glance, there are three bodies in the funnel; on examination each of
these is seen to consist of three, with other bodies, spheres, again within
them. Apart from this, the composition is simple enough, all the ovoids
being alike, and composed of a triplet, a septet and a duad.
