The transferences of heterocentric astigmatic Purkinje systems are special: submatrices B and C, that is, the disjugacy and the divergence of the system, are symmetric and submatrix D (the divarication) is the transpose of submatrix A (the dilation). It is the primary purpose of this paper to provide a proof. The paper also derives other relationships among the fundamental properties and compact expressions for the transference and optical axis
