Kl., Sitzb., v. 1, “second unchanged ed.,” 1848, p. 477-478; a similar table of tangents and cotangents is given on p. 479-480. In this v. the pages are numbered consecutively from the beginning to the end. These page numbers agree with those given in the Royal Soc. Cat. Sci. Papers. Yet the references given by Mr. Salzer, p. v, are entirely different, namely: pt. IV, p. 176-177, and 178-179. It would therefore seem as if the five parts of the volume were originally issued with separate paging but when assembled in a volume were paged consecutively. J. T.

  • After listing the tables of inverse hyperbolic functions in M. Boll, Tables Numériques Universelles. Paris, 1947, p. 475, there is the remark: “This single page of tables is replete with errors.” See MTAC, v. 2, p. 336-338; v. 3, p. 466-467. K. Hayashi, Sieben- und mehrstellige Tafeln der Kreis- und Hyperbelfunktionen, Berlin, 1926, p. 9-201. This list contained 526 entries believed to contain all exceptional numbers; no number having more than two prime factors, each in excess of 313. In the second paper it was discovered after recomputation that in this list there were 2 entries to delete and 7 to insert (MTAC v. 2, p. 279) so that there are exactly 531 exceptional numbers in question less than 10$^{8}$.—Editor.
