On writing in the equations u' = 0, then P, Q, R, S, p', q', r', s' become = p, q, r, s,
Po, 0, r 0 , 0; and the equations are (as they should be) true identically. The equations
may be written
u+u' u—v! u u' u u' u u' u u' u v! u v! u v! u u'

(8-4) 4 4 = -4(4.4-7.7 + 8.8 -11.11) +8(4.8 + 8.4-7.11-11.7),

There is of course such a system for each of the 60 Gopel tetrads.
Differential relations connecting the tlieta-functions with the quotient-functions.
134. Imagine p, q, r, s, &c., changed into x 2 } y‘\ z 2 , w 2 , &c.; that is, let x, y, z, w
represent the theta-functions 4, 7, 8, 11 of u, v; and similarly x', y', z', w' those of
u', v', and x 0 , 0, Zq, 0 those of 0, 0. Let u', v be each of them indefinitely small;
and take d, = u' ^ +v , as the symbol of total differentiation in regard to u, v,
the infinitesimals u' and v' being arbitrary: then, as far as the second order, we have
in general
S- (u + u', v + v') = ^ (u, v) + 8^ (u, v) + l-S 2 ^- (u, v),
