The subdivision of the three genera into nine species is noted in the three perpendicular columns. Under the title _Genus_ we shall use the Roman numerals I, III, II. Under the title _Species_ we employ the Arabic figures 1, 3, 2. I designates the eccentric form, II the concentric form, III the normal form. The Arabic figures have the same signification. The normal form, either in the genus or the species, we place in the middle column, because it serves as a bond of union between the two others, as the moral state is the connecting link between the intellectual and vital states. Thus the first law relative to the primitive forms of the organs is applied in the three transverse columns, and the second law relative to their compound forms is reproduced in the three vertical columns. As may be easily proven, the eccentric genus produces three species of eccentric forms, marked in the three divisions of the lower transverse column. Since the figure 1 represents the eccentric form, 1-I will designate the form of the highest degree of eccentricity, which we call |
