The first part of the present paper reproduces an article contributed by me to the July issue of Mathesis, 1900, entitled “Sur les triangles trihomologiques”; the second part contains fresh developments.

* and to a paper of his own which I have so far been unable to procure, read before the French Association, 1900, entitled, “Sur des groupes de triangles trihomologiques inscrits ou circonscrits a une meme conique ou a une famille de coniques.”

This is the case in the theorem of § I., (2), (ii) if we replace Σ by Ω, and interchange A´, B´, C with S1, S2, S3; for ABC and S1S2S3 are obviously in triple perspective, A´, B´, U´ being the centres.

One or two alterations in the proofs given in this part of the paper as read to the Society have been made on the suggestion of Mr R. F. Muirhead.

Of the many properties that may be deduced from the fact that the T' group consists of triangles of maximum area inscribed in concentric, similar and similarly situated ellipses, one of the most interesting is that all the triangles of the group have the same Brocard angle.
