§1. Introductory. The formula

where w is zero or a positive integer and | ζ | > 1, was given by F. E. Neumann “Crelle's Journal, XXXVII (1848), p. 24”. In § 2 of this paper some related formulae are given; the extension to the case when n is not integral is dealt with in § 3; while in § 4 the corresponding formulae for the Associated Legendre Functions when the sum of the degree and the order is a positive integer are established.
