1895N. Story-Maskelyne Crystallogr. v. §80. 99 A solid figure..is [symmetrical] to a plane of symmetry when corresponding points equidistant from the plane would lie on any line drawn perpendicularly to the plane. Where the solid figure presents symmetry to only a single plane (and not to a centre also) the corresponding portions of its surface..are to each other as either would be to its own image if seen reflected by the plane of symmetry as by a mirror. Def.—Such a correspondence of form will be termed antistrophe, and such figures will be said to be antistrophic to each other. 1899W. J. Lewis Crystallogr. 21. |
