1. Fourier's Integral Theorem.—In a former paper it was shown that certain formulæ, usually obtained by means of Fourier's Integral Theorem, could also be proved by contour integration: and, indeed, Fourier's Integral Theorem can be established by this method. The functions involved must be holomorphic, so that the proof does not justify the application of the theorem to such wide classes of functions as the usual proof by means of Dirichlet Integrals. In what follows it will be assumed that all the integrals are convergent, and the changes of order of integration justified. Fourier's Integral Theorem will be proved in the following form.
