It is to be observed that r is the same function of k' that q is of k. This

where, if the identity of the two values of k or of the two values of k' were proved 
independently (as might doubtless be done), the required theorem, viz. that r is the 
same function of k' that q is of k, would follow conversely: and thence the other 
equations of the system.
