Let (A), (B) be a special pair of perspective tetrahedra such that the 4 joins of their corresponding vertices are perpendicular to their plane of perspectivity. It has been already established (Mandan (1977a), p. 573) that they are, in general, skew-orthologic such that the perpendiculars from the vertices of one to the corresponding opposite faces of the other lie in a regulus. Here we give a construction of a special pair of semi-orthologic and orthologic tetrahedra, the said regulus degenerating into 2 pairs of intersecting lines and 4 concurrent lines respectively. Following Thébault ((1952), p. 25; (1955), p. 67), we call them semi-bilogic and bilogic respectively.
