In this paper we are concerned with the group of formal power series of the form

,

the coefficients being elements of a commutative ring R and the group operation being substitution. Little seems to be known of the properties of groups of this type, except in special cases, although groups of formal power series in several variables with complex coefficients have been investigated from a different point of view by Bochner and Martin (1, chap. I) and Gotô (2).
