Cayley has shown that if the family of surfaces φ(x, y, z) = λ is one of an orthogonal triad, φ satisfies a differential equation of the third order. If, however, the parameter λ is involved implicitly in the equation of the family, the condition requires modification: for example, although

is one of an orthogonal triad, φ does not satisfy Cayley's equation.
