The \textit{special linear group} \(\mathrm{SL}(n,F)\) of degree \(n\) over a field \(F\) is the set of all \(n\times n\) matrices with determinant \(1\), with the group operations of ordinary matrix multiplication and matrix inversion. In the paper under review, the author gives a complete exposition of the finite subgroups of \(\mathrm{SL}(3,\bar{F})\), where \(\bar{F}\) is a separably closed field of characteristic not dividing the order of the finite subgroup. This completes the earlier work of \textit{H. F. Blichfeldt} [Math. Ann. 63, 552--572 (1907; JFM 38.0192.03)]. Several elementary examples are illustrated by the author in the exposition.
