values which satisfy
F + N = 0,
K+L =0,
B + M -f- Q = 0.
The quartic function is thus seen to be
= (y 2 — zx) (By 2 -f Fyz — Qzx + Kxy) = 0,
viz. we have By 2 + Fyz — Qzx + Kxy = 0 for the equation of the conic (7 = 0.
Moreover, substituting for p, q, r, s, &c., their values, we have finally for the
required involution
[/3/3'x 2 + (aa' + /3 + /3') y 2 + z 2 — (a + a) yz — (a/3' + a'/3) ®y]
x [/3'73'V + (a"a'" + /3" +/3"') y 2 + z 2 - (a" + a'") yz - (a"/3'" + *'"/3") xy]

It will be recollected that this is the solution for the case A = 1234, ^=5678;
