                            a pair of generally radially opposed, laterally extending outer flanges, the                
                            outer side wall presenting a pair of axially opposed, circumferentially                     
                            extending marginal edges;                                                                   
                     an inner saddle-shaped shell element including a porous inner semi-cylindrical                     
              side wall and                                                                                             
                            a pair of radially opposed, laterally extending inner flanges, the inner side               
                            wall presenting a pair of axially opposed, circumferentially extending                      
                            marginal edges;                                                                             
                     a means for securing the outer and inner flanges together;                                         
                     a means for closing off the interior space between the marginal edges of the                       
              outer and inner shell elements;                                                                           
                     the outer and inner side walls being spaced from one another to define an interior                 
              space; and                                                                                                
                     a particulate catalyst component retained in the interior space between the side                   
              walls.                                                                                                    
                     15.  A saddle packing structure comprising:                                                        
                     an outer saddle-shaped shell element including a porous, semi-cylindrical screen                   
              defining an outer side wall;                                                                              
                     an inner saddle-shaped shell element connected to the outer shell element and                      
              including a porous, semi-cylindrical screen defining an inner side wall that is spaced                    
              from the outer side wall to define an interior space;                                                     
                     a pair of axially opposed end walls for closing off the interior space between the                 
              side walls of the outer and inner shell elements; and                                                     
                     a particulate catalyst component retained in the interior space between the side                   
              walls of the outer and inner shell elements.
