where the nodes and planes are numbered as by Kummer; and by means of his 
(differently arranged) diagram of the relation between the several nodes and planes, 
I was enabled to form the following square diagram, which exhibits this relation in, 
I think, the most convenient form. To explain this, observe that in the upper and 
left-hand margins, the numbers refer to the nodes; in the body of the table, and in 
the right-hand margin to the planes, the table shows that for the node 1, the 
circumscribed cone is made up of the planes 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 18 ; and that the remaining 
15 nodes are situate on the nodal lines of this cone, the node 2 on the intersection 
of the planes 7, 8; the node 3 on the intersection of the planes 6, 8, and so on; 
and the like as regards the other lines of the table.
