Abstract
The major part of this paper is devoted to enumerating all the many types of nets of quadrics in C
4
. An introductory section puts the invariant theory in context, and gives a framework for the classification. A quadric x
T
(λA
0
+μA
1
+ νA
2
)x of the net has dual equation
X
T
adj (λA

+μA
1
+ νA
2
) X = 0. The
adjugate system
is the system of curves in the (λ,μ,ν) plane given by these equations. The set
B
of base points of this system on the curve 0 =
Δ
≡ det (λA
0
+μA
1
+ νA
2
), together with the curve
Δ
, give system to the enumeration. In a final section of the paper the calculations are used to provide evidence for conjectures of the following type (generalizing results known when
Δ
= 0 is non-singular): each net determines and is determined by a square root of the canonical bundle on the curve
r
obtained from
Δ
by blowing
B
up; the set of square roots is an affine space over F
2
, and those arising are the zeros of a certain quadratic map.
