THE PURPOSE of this paper is twofold. First, we describe a new operator in the cohomology of the mod 2 Steenrod algebra: H**(A). This operator increases the stem degree t-s by 4.5 and the filtration degree s by 6. It may be thought of as a kind of periodicity, and our main result is that under it the “wedge” subalgebra [4] of H**(A) is repeated every 4.5 stems. Second, we regard the methods we use as further evidence of the efficacy of the technique of studying H**(A) by studying H**(B) for suitably chosen subalgebra B of A. This technique has been used very successfully by Adams [l] in formulating his periodicity operator and more recently by Zachariou [7] to obtain part of the wedge. Using other subalgebras than that of this paper we have obtained information about other elements of H**(A) such as n, r, IV, G,, R, and W,(for the notation throughout the paper see [6]). These results will appear elsewhere.
