* I refrain from discussing circles with real equations which become imaginary for certain values of the coefficients (e.g. x 2+y 2+1=0). In any case these belong to the comparatively uninteresting type which has real centres, but no real points or tangents. The circles I am discussing may, if a name be desirable, be called “essentially imaginary” circles.
