the numbers whereof are, it will be observed, identical with those of the foregoing
table No. 33, relating to the MacMahon equation.
This is to be read
= C 3 [d 3 ] + D 2 [c 3 ] + CE [6 2 c 2 ] + G [6«],
viz. il 6 is a linear function of C 3 , D 2 , CE and G, the coefficients of these, being
given functions of (b, c, d, e, f g), which given functions are the specific blunt
seminvariants which have been already called [d 2 ], [c 3 ], [b 2 c 2 ] and [b s ], And so in
general, the developed value of affords a complete definition of these specific blunt
seminvariants of the weight w. Observe that cl, /3, y, 3, ... are umbrae in nowise
connected with the roots a, ¡3, y, 8, ... before made use of, and that B, C, D, ...
are actual quantities in nowise connected with the symbolic capitals B, C, D, ... before
made use of.
54. The capital and small letter symbols are conjugate to each other. It will
be convenient to give here, in reference to subsequent investigations, a table of these
conjugate forms up to the degree 6 and weight 15.
