Abstract: In 1988 a new hypertopology, called \textbf{proximal

(finite) hypertopology} was discovered. It involves the use of a proximity

in the upper part but leaves the lower part the same as the lower Vietoris

topology. In 1966, the lower Vietoris topology, which involves finitely many

open sets, led to another lower topology involving locally finite families

of open sets. In this paper, we change the lower hypertopology using a

proximity and thus get a ``symmetric`` proximal hypertopology, which

includes the earlier `finite' topologies.
