D, is & plano-concave lens, having one face plane andthe other concave. E, has one face concave and the other convex, the con-vex face having the greater curvature; this lens is calleda meniscus. F, like the meniscus, has one face concave and theother convex, but the concave face has the greatercurvature ; this is called a concavo-convex lens. The line containing the centres of the sphericalsurfaces, is called the axis. Different cases § 43.
