them equal to a power of a multiplied by the corresponding covariant h, i, j, ..; hence,
supposing these leading coefficients, or, what is the same thing, the standard ex
pressions of the covariants h, i, j, .., v, w to be known, we can calculate the values
of 8h, 8i, 8j, .., 8v, 8w (= 0, since w is an invariant): and the operation 8, instead
of being applicable only to the forms containing a, b, c, d, e, f becomes applicable to
forms containing any of the covariants. The values of 8a, 8b, .., 8v, 8w can, it is
clear, be expressed in terms of segregates; and this is obviously the proper form:
but for 8r, 8t, and 8v, for which the segregate forms are fractional, I have given
also forms with integer coefficients. The entire series is
Deg-order.
