Extract

1. While the general theory of surfaces has received a great deal of attention in recent years, there remain a number of difficulties in the application of the results of that theory to the study of particular surfaces. I propose to discuss here certain details which, from their nature, do not seem to be amenable to very general treatment. I shall therefore consider a number of examples with a view to illustrating the way in which certain classes of surfaces may be expected to behave.
