A new system of Crystallographic Symbols. 255 
yet by half only of the usual number of planes. Other instances 
will be found in Fig. 2, which will be noticed in the remarks on that 
figure. 
As a recapitulation the following table is introduced, showing the 
letters that are to be applied to the angles and edges of the several 
prisms
