The figure so formed which to-day is loosely spoken of as a " bent cone," a " pine," or a " comma," has never, so far as I can ascertain, received a name in geometry, nor in the language of decorative design or pattern-making. Nor has the S-like line made by the two semicircles separat- ing the contiguous "pines" or "commas" received any designation though vaguely indicated by the word " ; The comma-like areas might conveniently be called.
