Abstract
THE theodolite form of goniometer was invented, and the advantage of determining the position of a face on a crystal by a pair of co-ordinate readings of a single setting was pointed out almost simultaneously by a German, Goldschmidt, and a Russian, Fedorov. The method had, however, been used some years before by an Englishman, Miller, but the posthumous paper in which it was used escaped general notice. It is, however, largely due to the teaching of Goldschmidt and the series of researches carried out by him and his pupils that the convenience of the two-circle measurement of crystals has become widely recognised.
