The Second Report of the Subcommittee on the Nomenclature of n ‐Dimensional Crystallography recommends specific symbols for R ‐irreducible groups in 4 and higher dimensions ( n D), for centrings, for Bravais classes, for arithmetic crystal classes and for space groups (space‐group types). The relation with higher‐dimensional crystallographic groups used for the description of aperiodic crystals is briefly discussed. The Introduction discusses the general definitions used in the Report.
