In funnel A the "cigar" and the ovoids behave as in boron, but the "balloon," _a_ 110 (XI, 4), escapes from the funnel as it changes to a sphere, and holds together on the proto level; on the meta, it yields six globes each containing seven duads, and these are all set free as duads on the hyper level; the ovoid is also set free on the meta level becoming a sphere, and on the hyper level liberates its contained bodies, as two triplets, two quartets and two sextets.
In funnel B there is a quintet, that behaves like those in the globe of boron, on escaping from the funnel, in which the bodies remain on the proto level, with the exception of _b_ 63, which escapes. On the meta level, _c_ (Plate XI, 4), _c_ assumes a tetrahedral form with six atoms at each point, and these hold together as sextets on the hyper level. At the meta stage, _b_ (Plate XI, 4 _b_) sets free seven nine-atomed bodies, which become free triplets on the hyper. The central globe shows a cross at its centre, with the four quintets whirling round it, on the proto level. On the meta, the quintets are set free, and follow the boron type, while the cross becomes a quartet on the meta level, and two duads on the hyper.
In yttrium, on the proto level, _a_ 110 and _b_ 63 both escape from the funnel, and behave as in scandium. The ovoids and "cigars," set free on the meta level, behave as in boron. The central globe breaks up as in gold (pp. 49 and 50), four quartets being set free instead of two quartets and two triplets. We have only to consider _e_ 8 and _d_ 20 (Plate XI, 4). _E_ 8 is a tetrahedral arrangement of duads on the meta level, set free as duads on the hyper. _D_ 20 is an arrangement of pairs of duads at the angles of a square-based pyramid on the meta, and again free duads on the hyper.
Nitrogen has nothing new to show us, all its constituents having appeared in scandium and yttrium.
The A funnel of vanadium repeats the A funnel of scandium, with the addition of _d_ 20, already studied. In the B funnel scandium B is repeated, with an addition of _d_ 20 and a sextet for a quintet; the sextet is the _c_ of the "nitrogen balloon." The central globe follows boron, save that it has a septet for its centre; this was figured in iodine (p. 48).
