read for instance in B k , m" = a — (3k — 3), n” = m + n — (k — 1), i" = 0 + (k— 1), and 
re" = — 3m — 3n + 3a + (ok — 5); and so in other cases. 
A. 2 G 2 (that is indifferently A 2 or C 2 ) is when there is on IJ an ordinary point, 
IJ not a tangent; and so B 2 D 2 when there is on IJ an ordinary point, IJ a tangent. 
Similarly P. 2 R 2 when there is at J an ordinary point, IJ not a tangent; only instead 
thereof I have written P 2 R 2 to indicate that (for a reason which will appear) the 
numbers are not deducible from those for P 2 or R. 2 by writing therein k = 2; and 
Q 2 S 2 is when there is at J an ordinary point, IJ a tangent. 
Case A k . We have to take the line IJ passing through the inflexion; the con 
dition for this is /3y' — /3'y = 0 : there is no speciality, or we have n" — 2&, m" = 4& — 2, 
l" — 0; whence also k" = 0; the value of re" being in every case deduced from those 
of m", n", l" by the formula 
Sm" + l" = Sn" + k". 
Case B k . I write y = y = 0, the equation of the normal is 
№ .(k—1) {(aff + «73)X- 2aa Y} 
+ O 2 *- 1 . — k {2¡3/3'X — (a/3' + a ft) Y}
