IRON (Plate IV, I, and XVII, 3).

[Illustration]

We have already dealt with the affinities of this peculiar group, and we
shall see, in the disintegration, even more clearly, the close
relationships which exist according to the classification which we here
follow.

The fourteen bars of iron break asunder on the proto level, and each sets
free its contents--a cone and three ovoids, which as usual, become spheres.
The twenty-eight-atomed cone becomes a four-sided figure, and the ovoids
show crystalline contents. They break up, on the meta level as shown in the
diagram, and are all reduced to triplets and duads on the hyper level.

COBALT (Plate XVII, 4).

The ovoids in cobalt are identical with those of iron; the higher ovoids,
which replace the cone of iron, show persistently the crystalline forms so
noticeable throughout this group.

NICKEL (Plate XVII, 5).

The two additional atoms in a bar, which alone separate nickel from cobalt,
are seen in the upper sphere of the central ovoid.

RUTHENIUM (Plate XVIII, 1).

The lower ovoids in ruthenium are identical in composition, with those of
iron, cobalt and nickel and may be studied under Iron. The upper ones only
