SERIAL ANALYSIS. 313 
This is all in order, and there is nothing for us to repine against in 
this state of things. 
Let the ants, the lions, and the locusts pass. Other creations 
will come, who will begin by re-establishing the balance among 
types. Then will come the last, the supreme creation of harmony, 
which will totally invert the terms of the proportion, and which 
will preserve of the subversive characters only sufficient for illus- 
tration of the principle. 
We may have a little patience in face of such a hope. 
Knowing the typical aroma, the passional title of each plan- 
et ; the classification of its beasts, plants, and minerals is im- 
mensely facilitated. We have a passional gamut, hominal or side- 
real, composed of 32 notes, in major and minor, reckoning in the 
amffiigus or transitional characters and the pivots. (4 ambigues 
sub-pivotal to the key.) 
These thirty-two notes are produced by the double mode, 
each containing twelve radical notes augmented by their comple- 
mentaries. 
Every gamut of twelve notes is decomposed into two groups by 
seven and five, every group of seven into two groups by three and 
four. Speculating only upon one mode, since the minor offers 
only a symmetrical counterproof of the major mode ; we shall 
find for the cast of universal classification twelve radical series, four 
transitional ; in all, sixteen great natural divisions ; afterward 
subdivision of the radical series in groups, genera, species, and 
varieties, by seven, five, four^ three, one. 
Every type eminent in dignity will reveal the cardinal paternity 
and indicate the Ko. 1 of the series.f 
* The translator suggests that the true number of transitions in each 
mode is three, and not four. One between the five sensitive and the four 
affectional passions ; one between the five sensitives and three distribu- 
tives ; and one betv/een the four affectives and three distributives. These 
three transitions, doubled when we reckon in the minor mode of the gam- 
ut, make six, which added to the first twenty-four, formed by doubling 
the twelve radical notes, give thirty ; then the two pivots, corresponding 
to the passion of Unityism or Harmonism for each mode make up thirty-two. 
t For instance, the Arab Horse, supreme type of all the equine series, 
easily reveals ambition as its passional dominant and the aroma of the
