Abstract
I FIND that the term “glissette” is not used precisely in the sense which I had supposed. A reference to Mr. Besant's “Notes on Roulettes and Glissettes” (which I had not before me last week) shows that the envelopes of the moving lines, to which the theorem in my last letter refers, would be properly described as roulettes. It is obvious, however, that glissettes are in general also roulettes.
