Extract

In recent work [5] which involved enumeration of singularity types of highly singular quintic curves, it was necessary to use rather detailed information on the geometry of quartic curves (for the case when the quintic consists of the quartic and a line). The present paper was written to supply this background. The cases of primary interest for this purpose are the rational quartics, and we concentrate on these.
