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.
