They have taken the impresses of these shells with that exquisite niceness, that no metal, when melted and cast in a mould, can ever possibly represent the concavity of that mould with greater exactness than these flints do the concavities of the shells, wherein they were moulded.

concavity
Concavity is a geometric property that describes the curvature of a shape or function. If a curve or surface is bent or curved inward, it is said to be concave. For a function, it refers to a region where the function's rate of increase or decrease is accelerating and its second derivative is less than zero. If the curve or surface bends outward or the second derivative is greater than zero, it is called convex instead. The terms concavity and convexity are used in various fields such as mathematics, physics, economics etc. to describe the nature of graph, surface or a shape.
Webster Dictionary
Concavitynoun
a concave surface, or the space bounded by it; the state of being concave
Etymology: [L. concavitas: cf. F. concavit. See Concave.]
