to repay, and without which the work could not have come into existence, I owe my most sincere thanks.

A special debt of gratitude is also due to Professor Garbe and Professor Takakusu, to whose instruction I owe a part of the material used in the Introduction, and to Professor de la Vallée Poussin, Professor Macdonell, Miss Hughes, and Mr. E. J. Thomas, who have been kind to me in many ways.
