(Abstract.) 



The object of this note is to point out the relation between the dif- 

 ferent modes of generating a lima9on, viz., as the pedal of a circle, as 

 the locus of a point such that its power with respect to a given circle 

 is in a fixed ratio to its distance from the extremity of a fixed diameter, 

 and as the envelope of a circle whose centre moves on a given circle and 

 which passes through a given point. The inverse and spare analogue 

 of the curve are also considered.

 A. F. Rudolf Hoernle.
