and the conditions V = 0, □ = 0 are consequently equivalent. 
The condition

is the condition in order that the function

so that the condition is, that the conic 
(a, b, c, f g, h\x, y, z) 2 + 2 j^.yz + ^zx+ yxyj = 0, 
(which is a certain conic passing through the intersections of the Absolute

(a, b, c,y, j, ^jj#, y, zy = 0,

form the reciprocal of the triangle (x = 0, y = 0, z = 0), and join the corresponding 
angles of the two triangles, the joining lines meet in a point which is the same 
point as is obtained by the like process from the triangle and its reciprocal in regard 
to the Absolute. But I do not further pursue this part of the theory. 
It is to be noticed that the conic
