bined, all the twelve varieties, with two or three exceptions, come very 
closely under the general formula M208,—M standing for all the metals 
(iron, titanium, manganese and magnesium) present. The following table 
shows that the coincidence for the varieties analyzed is quite remarkable 
—all but three or four giving almost exactly the ratio 1:1°5=2:3.
