HISTORY OF MADAGASCAR. 
The spaces in the lower part are filled in part by com- 
binations from those of the second table, and in part from 
those new combinations themselves. 
Thus, add together the numbers in the two upper spaces 
of the first and second lines in the second table, (under 
which a bracket is placed,) and deducting two, if the 
amount exceed two; place the remainder in the second 
line of spaces of the third table, commencing, as before, on 
the right hand. 
Proceed in the same manner through those two lines, 
and the whole second line of the third table will be com¬ 
pleted. Lines the third and fourth of the second table, 
will then be employed to form the fourth line of the third 
table. These second and fourth lines of the third table 
must then form, in the same manner, the third column of 
the same table. The two bottom lines, taken horizontally , 
of the second table, then make the eighth column of the 
third table ; and the two upper lines of the second, taken 
also horizontally, form the sixth column of the third table; 
the sixth and eighth form the seventh, and the seventh 
and third the fifth; and this fifth, which is the most 
important in this table, combined with the first, or Tale, in 
the second table, (the most important in that,) will form 
the only remaining blank column, namely, the first in the 
third table. In other words, taking the columns by their 
respective names, 
Tale and Harona.form Lalambe. 
Fahatelo and Vohitra - Andriana. 
Andriana and Lalambe - Ontany. 
Fabavalo and Vehivavy - Odovy.
