Again, by multiplying in like manner the atomic weight 

 of the second member of the alkaline earth and cadmium 

 series of metals (Mg = 24) the products, minus the atomic 

 weights of the first member, (Gl = 8) are the atomic weights 

 of all the elements of this series.

The four halogens and the four members of the oxygen 

 series, which I have designated as negative forms of H and 

 H2, have also well-defined multiple and other numerical 

 relations among themselves and their homologues of position 

 in the positive series H«, H271, as will be seen on comparing 

 the theoretical numbers with the accepted atomic weights as 

 shown in the two following tables :
