In spherical, as in plane geometry, transformation by inversion and by similar figures may be used for the deduction of new theorems from known ones, the two methods, however, in the former case becoming identical; and like all other propositions and methods in spherical geometry, these methods of transformation may be dualized. The transformation indicated as the dual of these in the case of the spherical surface is also applicable in piano. The sequel is an account of this method and of some results that may be obtained by means of it.
