Proceeding to a second differentiation, in which,- by virtue dy of the last equation, w e m a y consider-^ as constant, w e dx obtain dx2 "*" ~ tfa% WW ' r/ya \dxj ' V ; Then, if we take (2) as the director plane, that is to say, if w e make the director plane parallel to the axis of z, w e must substitute in (5) the value of -~ obtained, from (4), and we get aar ax ay ay* or in the usual notation b2r — 2abs + a2t^ 0.

If, however, we take (1) as the director plane, we must determine y- from (3), which gives dy __ __ Gp ~}~ A. <S ~~ ~~ G q -f B and the differential equation becomes (C? •+ B)2r - 2 (C? •+ B) (Gp + A) 5 + (Cp 4 A)2 * = 0.
