In a previous paper we discussed the duals of generic hypersurfaces: both smooth hypersurfaces in ℝn and algebraic hypersurfaces in real or complex projective space ℙn. In this note we show how to extend the methods of [1] to cover the case of complete intersections in ℙn and preface this with a brief discussion on the contact of space curves in ℝn with planes. We shall use the notation of [1].
