There are seven kinds of simple forms, viz.:--

Tetragonal bipyramid of the first order (figs. 42 and 43). This is

bounded by eight equal isosceles triangles. Equal lengths are

intercepted on the two horizontal axes, and the indices are {111},

{221}, {112}, &c., or in general {hhl}. The parametral plane with the

intercepts a : a : c is a face of the bipyramid {111}.
