Extract

1. In a paper read to this Society Mr F. P. White has derived a remarkable chain of theorems in [n] which, for n = 2, becomes Clifford's chain. White's method is so elegant that, as he has restricted himself to curves going through two given points, it may be permissible to shew that his line of argument applies equally to curves going through three or more given points, thus producing other chains of theorems analogous to Clifford's. For this purpose it is necessary to consider the successive projections, not of a simplex, but of a figure of n, n − 1, n − 2,…vertices in [n].
