                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This appeal is from the final rejection of claims 33-48                
          and 51-67.  Claims 49 and 50, which are all of the other claims             
          remaining in the application, stand objected to as being                    
          dependent from a rejected claim but allowable if rewritten in               
          independent form including all of the limitations of the base               
          claim and any intervening claims.                                           
                                    THE INVENTION                                     
               The appellants claim an alloy for a sacrificial anode and              
          claim a metal-reinforced concrete structure comprising a cathodic
