Extract

One main object of the present brief paper is to take advantage of the results obtained by Kirkman, and thus to extend my census of distinct forms to knottiness of the 8th and 9th orders; for the carrying out of which, by my own methods, I could not find time. But I employ the opportunity to give, in a more extended form than that in the short abstract in the Proceedings, some results connected with the general subject of knots, which were communicated to the Society on January 6, 1879, as well as others communicated at a later date, but not yet printed even in abstract.

page 328 note * This word is objectionable, on many grounds, in the present connection. But a more suitable one does not occur to me; and the qualification (given in brackets) will prevent any misconception.
