and we thus of course identify the functions Au, Bu, Cu, Du with the H and the © 
functions of Jacobi. 
20. If in the above-mentioned four equations we write first u = 0, and then u' = 0, 
and by means of the results eliminate from the original equations the quantities 
X, Y, X', Y' which occur therein, we obtain expressions for the four products such 
as A (u + u) A (u — u'). One of these equations is 
C-0 .C(u + u) C (u - u') = Chi Chi' - D-uD-u. 
Taking herein u' indefinitely small, we obtain

log Cu, or this second derived function of the 
D u 
theta-function Cu is given in terms of the quotient-function : hence, integrating 
twice and taking the exponential of each side, we obtain Cu as an exponential the 
if Dhi 
argument of which contains the double integral I j - (du) 2 , of a squared quotient- 
function. This, in fact, corresponds to Jacobi’s equation

differentiating logarithmically in regard to u' and integrating in regard to u, we obtain

22. It may further be noticed that if, in the equation in question and in the 
three other equations of the system, we introduce into the integral the variable x 
in place of u, and the corresponding quantity f in place of u, then the integral is 
that of an expression such as
