1. Introduction. The ternary orthogonal group of projectivities over a finite field leaves a non-singular conic ✗ invariant, but the geometry consequent thereupon does not appear to have been investigated. The group is isomorphic to a binary group of fractional substitutions over the same field and this fact may, since these binary groups and their subgroups are so well known, have inhibited projects to embark on a detailed description of the geometry of the ternary group.
