Abstract
THE “Circolo Matematico” is one of the junior members of the now large family of Mathematical Societies. We have before us Tomo I., which gives an account of the proceedings from March 1884 to July 1887. Tomo II. contains like matter for 1888, and of the current volume we have three parts, each of which contains an account of the proceedings for a period of two months, terminating with June last. The first general meeting of which there is any record was held on March 20, 1884, and in that year eleven meetings are recorded, and the proceedings published within the narrow limits of thirteen pages: it was then the day of small things, and we presume the gatherings were confined almost to conversational expositions of mathematical problems. With increase of days came increase of strength, and the first volume contains seventy communications from twenty-one authors; of these the only foreign contributors are Messrs. E. Catalan, F. Cavallaro, Hirst, and Schoute. Dr. Hirst's short note is “Sur la congruence Roccella, du troisième ordre et de la troisième classe,” and in it he points out that Dr. Roccella's congruence is a particular case of the Cremonian congruences discussed by him in his memoir “On Congruences of the third order and class” (L. Math. Soc. Proc, vol. xvi., 1885). These congruences are also the subjects of papers read by Signor Guccia. Amongst the longer papers in this volume are: “Intorno ad alcune formole nella teorica delle funzione Ellittiche,” by. Signor Albeggiani; “Sulle superficie dell' nmo ordine immerse nello spazio di n dimensioni,” by P. del Pezzo ; “Sopra un metodo per formare le equazioni a derivate parziali, delle superficie che ammettono una generatrice di forma costante,” by M. Gebbia; “Sopra alcuni sistemi lineari di curve piane algebriche di genere due,” by V. Martinetti.
