   A mathematical object (function, curve, surface, etc.) of degree seven.

   Enriques states that it is possible to construct a family of septics with a singular curve of degree 7 and genus 4 having a triple point that degenerates to the above configuration[…].

   Now consider the two septics C = U⁷ᵢ₌₁Cᵢ, D = U⁷ᵢ₌₁Dᵢ and note that for i = 1,2,3,4,5,6 the lines Cᵢ and Dᵢ are parallel, so that the intersection of two septics S' consists of 6⁶^([sic]) + 6 + 1 = 43 points and it is the singular set of a foliation of degree 6.
