26. Formula 361.54 in 14 contains a misprint when (Formula presented) is defined therein. The argument in the logarithm should read (Formula presented).
27. Calculation of the asymptotic forms of (Formula presented) may be a bit tricky for the not initiated. Use of the infinite series expansion 436.01 in 14 is quite helpful.
