Abstract: Decompositions of products of the Ray elements by free generators of small dimensions in the symplectic cobordism ring are obtained. In particular it is stated that most of the

-dimensional generators, for

small, after multiplication by the Ray elements $\phi_i$ , $i\geqslant0$ , land in the ideal generated by Ray elements of low dimension.
