Analytical investigation of the twenty-seven lines and forty-five triple tangent planes for the general equation of the cubric surface; 5. The construction of a model of a double six; 6. The construction of the configurations of the straight lines upon the twenty-one types of the cubric surface; 7. On some configurations associated with the configurations of the lines upon the cubric surface; Bibliography.
