In the study of direct differential geometry, families of oriented arcs and curves have been employed extensively to define the differentiability of an arc at a point in various kinds of planes; cf. [2]. In [6], P. Scherk used lines in the projective plane; in [3] and [4], N. D. Lane and P. Scherk used circles in the conformai plane; conic-sections in the projective plane were employed in [5] and [7] by N. D. Lane and K. D. Singh; in [1], M. Gupta and N. D. Lane used the graphs of polynomials of degree at most n in the affine plane.
