NOTES ON POLYHEDRA.
[375
the group consists of the 4q symbols
±1, + ©,...+ 03- 1 ; ± 0> a , ± <f> 2 , ... ±
(to verify that this is so, it is only necessary to form the equations
©»©«=©»+«, 3>/=-l, ©^g = <J) s+r , <J)S@r _ <pg_ rj <P r <J> s = _ ©'-^
which are at once seen to be true).
15. The ± general case A gives merely the group of the 2q symbols
±1, + ©, ... ± ©5“ 1 ,
which has been already mentioned.
16. The tetrahedron gives the group of 24 symbols,
\ (± 1 ± i +j ± k) 16 cube roots of + 1
± h ± j, ± k 6 square „ „ „
±1 2 terms

(the signs ± being all independent).
17. The cube and octahedron give the group of 48 symbols
^l (±1±i) ’ ti (±1±j) ’
