“The remarkable analogies which exist between the complete quadrilateral and the desmic system of points suggest that it may be possible to extend the properties considered above to spaces of higher dimensions”, remarks Prof. N. A. Court at the end of his paper (2). Here is an attempt in that direction in Euclidean as well as in elliptic 4-space, suggesting extensions in higher spaces. The corresponding figure, called an S-configuration, is discussed.
