MAGNETIC CHARACTERS OF METALS, &c. 669 
be to allow all bodies to possess, more or less, 
of the magnetic character ; and to classify them 
into those that are palpably magnetic, like iron 
and nickel: and those that are but obscurely mag- 
netic, or whose magnetism is not detectable in 
their individual states, but which become magnetic 
by combination. 
66. Provisionally, therefore, we might venture 
to call the former class Sapho* magnetics, and 
the latter class Asapho} magnetics. 
67. Sapho-magnetics might be conveniently 
subdivided into Mono{ magnetics and Suno§ 
magnetics, accordingly as they consist of individual 
or of compound bodies. Then, as we have many 
bodies which counteract the highest magnetic 
powers of simple bodies, these might be called 
Kato-magnetics,|| because many of them, if not 
all, have the power of completely neutralizing 
the magnetic actions of other bodies.

+ AgapSs. Indistinctly, without clear evidence or marks. 
t Movos. Alone, single.
