This paper mainly deals with the point groups and single forms of octagonal quasicrystals and the description of one-dimensional quasilattice. The authors present a new sequence for describing the arrangement of quasiperiods in one-dimensional quasilattice. The first ten numbers of quasiperiods of this sequence are 1, 1, 2, 5, 12, 29, 70, 169, 408 and 985. The arrangement of quasiperiods in the first five steps are a, b, ab. babab and babababbabab. Seven p(?)nt groups and nine single forms for the octagonal system have been deduced, They are as follows: Point groups: 8.8m, 82, 8/m, 8/mmm, 8 and 82m; single forms: octagonal prism, dioctagonal prism. octagonal pyramid. dioctagonal pyramid. octagonal dipyramid, dioctagonal dipyramid, octagonal scalenohedron, dioctagonal scalenohedron and octagonal trapezohedron. Besides seven point groups and nine single forms for the dodecahegonal system have also been deduced.
