| contents | The goal of this text is to present the computation by Salmon, in the second half of the XIXth century, of various numbers enumerating planes with a prescribed tangency pattern with a sufficiently general surface $S$ in $\mathbf{P}^3$ (or, equivalently, of hyperplane sections of $S$ with prescribed singularities). Emblematic among these are the number of tritangent planes, and the number of planes cutting out a curve with a tacnode. |
