A certain conic section supposed to be drawn in the tangentplane to any surface, and used to determine the accidents ofcurvature of the surface at the point of contact. The curve issimilar to the intersection of the surface with a parallel to thetangent plane and indefinitely near it. It is an ellipse when thecurvature is synclastic, and an hyperbola when the curvature isanticlastic.
