The values of the ratio for N0 3 , N0 2 , and CN, namely 8*5, 

 8, and 9, are not far from the mean value 10 found for the 

 same ratio in organic compounds: for these three radicals the 

 values of the ratio in Table VI. were 10, 9, and 8 ; for C10 3 

 the ratio in the last table is 9, but for Br0 3 it falls to 7 '5, and 

 for 10 3 to 6. This is due to the values of B for these radicals 

 being smaller than they ought to be if regular, for B for 

 Br0 3 instead of being less than for C10 3 ought to be 6 '4 

 greater, which would make it 41, and bring the ratio up to 9; 

 similarly B for I0 3 ought to be 16*5 greater than that for 

 CIO3, which would bring it up to 51, and make the ratio 8.

This part of the table shows that for the dibasic acid 

 radicals the ratio 2B/F is constant within the limits of ac- 

 curacy attainable; and the remarkable fact appears that 2 B/F 

 for the dibasic acid radicals has the same value as B/F for 

 the monobasic. There is only one datum for a tribasic acid 

 and one for a tetrabasic, namely,
