CATACAUSTIC curves, in the higher geometry, that species of caustic curves
which are formed by reflection. These curves are generated after the following
maimer. If there be an infinite number of rajs, as AB, AC, AD, &c. see Plate XIV.

C., be reflected rays ; the catacaustic is, therefore, a curve tangent to all of the
reflected rays. If the curve BCD is a circle, and the rays incident upon it are
parallel, the catacaustic is an epicycloid, a curve generated by a point of the ...

If we conceive the line BCD to he a reflector, and A a radiant point, then will the
lines BE, BC, 610., be reflected rays ; the catacaustic is, therefore. a curve
tangent to all of the reflected rays. If the curve BCD is a circle, and the rays
incident; ...

There we want to illustrate the following interesting theorem (compare [4], [25]):
The catacaustic c of a pencil of lines E(e) with respect to a reflecting curve r is the
locus of all focal points F = E of those conic sections that osculate r and have E ...
