4 _a_, to be a complicated body,
consisting of six fourteen-atomed globes arranged round a long ovoid
containing spheres with three, four, six, six, four, three, atoms
respectively. It will be observed that this balloon appears in every member
of these two groups, except boron.

The B funnel runs largely to triads, _c_ and _b_, _b_ (see 4 _b_) having
not only a triadic arrangement of spheres within its contained globes, but
each sphere has also a triplet of atoms. In _c_ (see 4 _c_) there is a
triadic arrangement of spheres, but each contains duads. B is completed by
a five-atomed sphere at the top of the funnel. It should be noted that _a_,
_b_ and _c_ all are constituents of nitrogen.

The central globe repeats that of boron, with an additional four-atomed
sphere in the middle.

YTTRIUM (Plate XI, 3). Here we have a quite new arrangement of bodies
within the funnel--the funnel being of one type only. Two "cigars" whirl on
their own axes in the centre near the top, while four eight-atomed globes
(see 4 _e_) chase each other in a circle round them, spinning madly on
their own axes--this axial spinning seems constant in all contained
bodies--all the time. Lower down in the funnel, a similar arrangement is
seen, with a globe (see 4 _d_)--a nitrogen element--replacing the "cigars,"
and six-atomed ovoids replacing the globes.

The "nitrogen balloon" occupies the third place in the funnel, now showing
its usual shape in combination, while the _b_ globe (see 4 _b_) of scandium
takes on a lengthened form below it.

The central globe presents us with two tetrahedra, recalling one of the
combinations in gold (see Plate VII _d_), and differing from that only by
the substitution of two quartets for the two triplets in gold.

One funnel of yttrium contains exactly the same number of atoms as is
contained in a gaseous atom of nitrogen. Further, _a_, _b_, and _d_ are all
nitrogen elements. We put on record these facts, without trying to draw any
conclusions from them. Some day, we--or others--may find out their
significance, and trace through them obscure relations.
