It is time that a distinctive and unobjectionable name werefound for it; and once that is secured, there will soon be acrop of Treatises. What is wanted is an erudite, not neces-sarily a very original, mathematician. The materials alreadyto hand are very numerous. But it is not easy (in English atall events) to find a name for it without coining some alto-gether new word from Latin or Greek roots. Topology has aperfectly definite meaning of its own, altogether unconnectedwith our subject. Position, with our mathematicians at least,has come to imply measure.
