First sentence: USING throughout capital letters to denote homogenous quadric functions of the coordinates (x, y, z, w), we have as a form of quartic surface with eight nodes; viz. the nodes are here the octad of points, or eight points of intersection of the quadric surfaces U=0, V=0, W=0; the equation can, by a linear transformation on the functions U, V, W (that is, by substituting for the original functions U, V, W linear functions of these variables), be reduced to the form.
