In this paper we consider the correspondence between tangential quadrics of [3] and points of [9]. Godeaux has considered this geometrically, with the object of obtaining a representation for a twisted cubic of three dimensions. We have considered it from a standpoint more algebraic than that of Godeaux, with particular reference to the types of pencils of quadrics that correspond to special lines of [9], and to the interpretation in [9] of the fact that the condition for a net of quadrics to be part of the polar system of a cubic surface is poristic.
