In a previous paper with Gibbons [CMP 120 (1987) 295] we derived a list of three dimensional symmetric space $\sigma$-model obtained by dimensional reduction of a class of four dimensional gravity theories with abelian gauge fields and scalars. Here we give a detailed analysis of their group theoretical structure leading to an abstract parametrization in terms of `triangular' group elements. This allows for a uniform treatment of all these models. As an interesting application we give a simple derivation of a `Quadratic Mass Formula' for strictly stationary black holes.
