The superiority which he claims is attributed to the use of determinants. MUIR, T.
Page 159 - For m = 3, w>3, .Fin a vanishing fonn.f in the present paper the field is that of integers taken modulo 2. In § 2 a theorem is obtained which enables us to write down at once every non-vanishing form. The problem of the separation of these non-vanishing forms into nonequivalent classes is treated in § 3— 8 for m = 4, n = 3 ; while for w = 6, n = 3, certain interesting classes are fully determined.

Cor. — If a success-ion of integrals of functions which are bounded below in their ensemble oscillates boundedh/, there is in every sub-succession a sequence of the integrals converging to an upper semi-integral.

It may be observed here parenthetically that if a similar study be made for the cubic a first condition will be found to demand that the orbits be defined by equations of the form (13) aixt* + zbixfyi — 3aixtyl" — bt y(s — d = o, (1=1,2,3); the remaining analysis of the problem offers no difficulty.
