Abstract
HAVING recently had to use Halphen's multiplication formulæ for the special cases of the lemniscate functions (g3 = 0), I have convinced myself that there is a rather serious misprint in his expression for Ψ4 (vol. i., p. 96), namely, instead of last term, we should read . Thus with g2 = 4, and this correction, we have where the factor can be foreseen from the theory. With the other sign we have no such resolution.
