This paper develops another canonical form for (0, 1)-matrices which may be used in the same spirit as the nearly decomposable matrix [5] or the k-nearly decomposable matrix [1], This form is intrinsic in each fully indecomposable matrix and does not require the replacement of any of its non-zero entries by 0's.
