 which you will perhaps have the kindness to notice in your next publication. 



For (u;tan/3-i^L) = C F, read (u> tan J3 + A) = C F.' 



sin C F D sin C F D. 



For C D = (« tan e + A) ^-— ^^-p, read C D = (» tan fl + A) — ^-^ 



sin C F D , „„ , sin C F D 



For C E = (w tan 3 + A) ;t— Tn-^- read C E = (tt tan (3 + A) ; 



sin C D F

For " therefore the angle C /) F will be constant," read " therefore the 

 angle C FO will be constant."
