THE singular solution of the differential equation4>(x, y, p)= 0,(1) as obtained either from the c-discriminant of the general solution j (x, y, c)= 0 or from the^-discriminant of< f>(x, y, p)= 0 itself, may, we know, be accompanied by extraneous factors corresponding respectively to a nodal locus or a tac-locus. Even a factor which appears in both discriminants is not necessarily a singular solution, since a cuspidal locus reckons both as a nodal locus and as a taclocus. Further tests are therefore necessary.* If, however, we consider the general solution in the parametric form x= x (p, c), y= y (p, c),(2) which occurs naturally in certain standard methods of solution, we can determine the singular solution unencumbered with irrelevant factors, fThe singular solution, being the envelope of the family of curves comprised by the general solution, will touch each curve of the family at a point (or points), and the aggregate of these points sufficiently constitutes the envelope. Suppose, then, that the envelope touches a curve c= constant at the point given parametrically by
