The value of was 10411 = 100,000 = T04110, and the two limits thus are T24980 
and T24850; or restoring the factor 100,000, they are 12498 and 12485; the mean of 
these, say 12490, was taken for the value II (p), p = oc ; that is K = 12490.

numerical values, and multiplying by the before-mentioned factor 100,000, we have

calculation was continued by quadratures giving to v the values 10, 20, 30,... up to 
v = 490, or q— — 890. For the remainder of the integral, writing 500 —v = w (that is,
