49. Putting the equation of the surface in the form
W(l, 1, 1, l+), m + ~, n + -\X, Y, Z) 2 +°^ S XYZ = 0,
l m n P
where for shortness
a = mn — l,
/3 — nl — m,
7 = Im — n,
8 = Imn — 1,
p = Imn,
then taking X = 0 as the equation of the plane [12], Y= 0 as that of the plane
[34], Z= 0 as that of the plane [56], the equations of the 30 distinct planes are
found to be
X =0,
[12]
T = 0,
[34]
Z =0,
