Abstract
- The circumstances explained in the footnote on p. 61 of the former paper with this title might well have necessitated a re-writing of the whole. Fortunately it appears that only a few short comments are required. For example it may be noted that the first question in §4 can be answered by counting the degrees of freedom in the two configurations. Eight points of a twisted cubic have freedom 20; four pairs of planes drawn at random through four lines of a regulus have freedom 21; therefore the eight planes of the second paragraph of §4 cannot always lead back to the eight points of §2. This is corroborated by the corresponding numbers in [4], which are 31 and 34.
