Extract

The axial system of Bravais, with three co-planar axes at 120°C to one another and a fourth at right angles to them is almost universally adopted for the description of crystals based on the hexagonal prism as unit cell. But it does not seem to have been generally recognized that the use of these axes entails some complications in respect of face- and zone-symbols. These it is the purpose of the present note to consider.
