Several recent papers have been concerned with a group G, of order 28.36.5.7, which can be represented as a collineation group in five dimensions. This collineation group is generated by harmonic inversions (projections) which leave fixed a point (the vertex) and a prime (said to be conjugate to the vertex). There are 126 projections in G and the set of 126 vertices form a configuration which is described in a paper (Hamill (3)) in which the operations of G are expressed as products of at most six projections. The group leaves invariant six algebraically independent primals; these have been determined (Todd (6)), and the equations of the simplest are given. The simplest invariant is a sextic primal, and some properties of this have been recorded in an earlier paper (Hartley (4)).
