3/53 Even in such wise, if you will, that all the six faces are equal and similar rhombuses. The figure here added represents a piece of this Crystal. The obtuse angles of all the parallelograms, as C, D, here, are angles of 101 degrees 52 minutes, and consequently the acute angles, such as A and B, are of 78 degrees 8 minutes. Of the solid angles there are two opposite to one another, such as C and E, which are each composed of three equal obtuse plane angles. All that I have just said has been likewise remarked by Mr.Bartholinus in the aforesaid treatise; if we differ it is only slightly about the values of the angles. |
